Olive Tree 100cm - شجرة الزيتون

The olive tree (Olea europaea) is a hardy, evergreen tree known for its silvery-green leaves and valuable fruit. Native to the Mediterranean, it thrives in Kuwait’s climate with proper care. It is slow-growing but can live for centuries, making it a great addition to gardens, farms, and landscapes.

Care in Kuwait:

• Sunlight: Requires full sun (6+ hours daily).

• Soil: Prefers well-drained sandy or loamy soil; tolerates poor soil conditions.

• Watering: Deep watering every 7-10 days, reducing in winter. Mature trees are drought-tolerant.

• Temperature: Heat-resistant and adapted to Kuwait’s hot, dry climate. Protect young trees from extreme cold.

• Fertilization: Apply balanced NPK fertilizer or organic compost in spring for healthy growth.

• Pruning: Remove dead or weak branches to improve airflow and fruit production.
