How to grow it
Check your olive tree seeds for firmness. If stratification is required, follow the cold stratification instructions included in your kit before planting. Once ready, fill planter three-fifths with included potting soil. Plant seeds at the recommended depth from instructions. Water lightly and place lid on top.
Watch for olive tree seedlings to emerge in 30-90 days. Once sprouts appear, remove the lid and move your planter to a location with full sun (6-8 hours daily). Water when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch. Thin seedlings to the 2-3 strongest plants if overcrowded.
As your olive tree plant grows, continue regular watering and provide adequate light. Plants can reach 15-30 feet at maturity. Transplant to a larger container or outdoor garden when the plant outgrows the starter planter. Follow the included care guide for ongoing maintenance and harvest tips.
