Maslin (Olive tree - Olea Europaea)

The olive tree (Olive Tree), also known as the "everlasting tree," is a shrub of Mediterranean origin with extraordinary regenerative and adaptive abilities.
The olive tree adapts very well both indoors, in spacious areas, and on terraces, enclosed balconies, or gardens (well protected during winter). Its fruits are highly valued, being called in mythology the "medicine of the gods."

The olive tree prefers the Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm, dry summers and mild winters. Nevertheless, it is a fairly hardy plant that can tolerate less favorable conditions, enduring both drought and low temperatures for short periods.

Olive tree care includes the following aspects:

1. Planting: The olive tree should be planted in a sunny spot to develop well. The soil must be well drained to avoid water stagnation.

2. Watering: During active growth periods, olive trees should be watered regularly but without excess. In summer and very warm areas, watering should be more frequent.

3. Fertilizing: The olive tree benefits from applying a nitrogen-rich fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season and a potassium-rich one before fruit ripening to support their development.

4. Winter adaptation: In regions with colder winters, young olive trees may need protection against frost, such as wrapping with fabric or moving pots indoors.

5. Protection against diseases and pests: Olive trees can be affected by various fungal diseases and pests, such as the olive fruit fly. It is important to regularly monitor the tree and apply plant protection treatments as needed.

6. Temperature: Usually, olive trees can withstand low temperatures down to about -10 degrees Celsius for short periods. However, temperatures below -4 degrees Celsius can cause damage, especially to young specimens or those varieties less resistant to cold.
