Extended information:

Olives are warm-loving and drought-resistant. Places with an average annual temperature of 18 to 20°C and an annual rainfall of 1,200 to 1,600 mm are suitable for olive growth. . The best soil for the garden is deep, loose soil, rich in organic matter, or sandy loam.

It is not suitable to go to a closed mountain col with strong western sunshine or cold air and easy frost. Based on the actual conditions of the garden, choose hillside or terraced land with convenient transportation, abundant water sources and relatively flat terrain for planting.

Choose a season with sufficient rainfall for olive planting. When taking seedlings, try to minimize root damage and remove 2/3 to 3/4 of the leaves in time. If possible, the trunk of the seedlings without soil should be sealed and wrapped with a degradation film. Reduce water evaporation.
