Is My Olive Tree Dead or Just Struggling?

Asked By GreenThumbWizard27 On

Hey there! I'm hoping to get some advice on my olive tree. After I repotted it, the leaves have become crispy and curled up. I even tried cutting it back a couple of weeks ago, but it still looks pretty rough. This is my first plant for the garden, so I honestly have no clue what I'm doing. Any help would be much appreciated!

It would really help if you could share a picture of the tree. Also, make sure it's getting plenty of water, especially after repotting. Olive trees can be a bit finicky!

A good test is to scrape a bit of the bark off a few branches with your fingernail. If it's green underneath, your tree is still alive! Just hang in there and give it some time.

Glad I could help! Let me know what you find!

Thanks! I've heard to look for that while pruning, but it was tough to see the color. I'll try that out!
