Dwarf Black Olive

They have lots of sharp thorns, so handle with care. They do well indoors but prefer to be kept outdoors in warm weather. They like direct sun but avoid direct mid-day sun in the middle of summer. While they can survive temperatures in the 40's, they do best when kept in the 60's and above year-round. Root work is best done in mid-summer, and drastic root-ball reduction should be avoided. It is better to reduce the root-ball over a few years. Keep them well-watered for best results. They do not like dry soil!
