Olive tree pruning

Olive tree characteristics

Olive trees are very common on fincas in Mallorca. Their impressive trunk and abundant foliage make them an excellent option to add elegance to a garden, or to cultivate agriculturally for olive production. However, unlike other trees, olive trees are not inexpensive. For that reason, maintenance and pruning are very important to prevent decline and possible loss. Below are some key characteristics to keep in mind when it comes to olive trees:

• The olive tree is typical of the Mediterranean climate. It is quite demanding regarding temperature: it does not tolerate extreme cold or heavy rainfall very well, so it adapts best to dry climates.
• It is a very long-lasting tree if it is cared for correctly and regularly.
• It has long, deep roots. If care is not correct, the roots may begin to appear on the surface.
• It can reach around 10 metres in height, so in some cases pruning at height may be necessary.

Olive tree maintenance

Olive trees need even sun exposure, without areas that remain in shade. As a drought-tolerant tree, natural rainfall is usually enough for it to survive, so watering should be very infrequent. They need to be pruned every year to maintain their shape and prevent pests.
