Hello there. I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have a potted olive tree that is about 5 years old and has a significant amount of new fruit that has started to grow. This tree has never fruited before so I was very surprised and excited to see this. Is there anything I should be doing to the tree to help the fruiting process and to keep the tree strong? Should I be fertilizing it? If so, what is the best kind of fertilizer to use?

It’s exciting to see those tiny olives, but expect a few to fall off before they ripen. It shouldn’t be too many, though, maybe up to a third in my experience. Keep the pot well watered but not soggy.
