Growth Technology Olive Focus Liquid Feed for Olive Trees

A feed built around what an olive tree in a pot actually runs short of

Olive Focus is Growth Technology's liquid feed for olive trees, particularly those grown in containers. A potted olive exhausts its medium quickly and shows it first as leaf drop and yellowing, both of which are usually feeding faults rather than watering ones.

Key Benefits

• Formulated for olives - the balance a Mediterranean tree in a pot actually needs
• Reduces leaf drop - the commonest complaint with a container-grown olive
• Chelated trace elements - olives are grown in alkaline compost where iron locks out easily
• Supports fruiting - potassium weighted enough to carry a crop
• Part of the Focus range - alongside the other specialist feeds

An olive that sheds its leaves every spring

Container-grown olives run out of nutrition faster than their owners expect, and the tree responds by dropping leaves. It looks like a watering problem and gets treated as one, which makes it worse. A feed matched to the plant fixes the actual cause.

How to Use

• Growing season: 2 ml per litre every second watering, spring to early autumn
• Winter: stop feeding - growth has stopped and the feed will not be used
• Containers: feed more often than a tree in the ground, the medium is a much smaller reserve
• After repotting: wait a month before resuming
