Even though it will take years before they produce fruit, I feel excited to have olive trees started from scratch. It�s a long-term project, but the seedlings give me hope for a future harvest.
I�m not an experienced gardener, but these olive seeds were straightforward to plant. The instructions were easy to follow, and I already see healthy little shoots pushing through the soil.
Starting olives from seed has been such a rewarding project. The seeds germinated at different times, but now I have several healthy little trees coming along nicely.
These olive plants add a unique touch to my garden. Even as seedlings, they look elegant with their slender leaves. I can already imagine how beautiful they�ll look when fully grown.
I planted ten seeds, and seven germinated within a few weeks. That�s better than I anticipated. The plants are sturdy and seem well-suited to my climate here in California.
