    Hi,

    wondering if anyone can advise how I can get my olive tree back to the last photo. I’ve had it since 2021 and it was really leafy with olives. Start of this year, looked half dead.

    been feeding it once a week with olive tree food and watering every few days.

    Does it need cutting back or replanting?

    thank you

    I'd give it a light trim, but really needed it earlier in the season, it's a bit late now.

      Thanks. So better to completely leave it and cut it early next year… ?

      I think if it was mine I'd leave it for now and give it a tri to shape next April.
