The olive tree grows well in areas where the climate is temperate, but in winter the temperatures should not drop below zero, otherwise the plant dies. Care and a lot of patience are the main ingredients that allow you to obtain good results.
By following very simple guidelines, you can grow beautiful plants first in pots and then in your home garden. The first thing you should do is choose the tree you want to grow because there is not just one variety of olive tree, there are several plants of various types spread all over the world to choose from.
Some are similar to each other, while others have small differences that have to do with the flavor or color of the fruit. Cultivation techniques and also fruit ripening times change depending on the type of plant.
In Puglia there is, for example, the Bella di Cerignola, the Cellina barse, the Cima di Bitonto, even if they are all located within the same region, since there is a slightly different climate from one area to another, each of these plants can give totally different results.
That is why it is advisable to do a little research to understand which is the best olive tree for the area where you live, so as not to make mistakes, not to spend too much money, time and patience on something that may not give you what you would like.
