Shadow Play Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Kept my olive tree in the garden room throughout the winter to shelter it from the cold. The garden room doesn’t get much light in the winter (glass predominantly faces westwards). Made sure the tree still got a little water. When I took the plant out a few weeks ago I notice some yellowing to the tips of some leaves. I re-potted it into a larger pot but the yellowing of the leaves appear to be getting worse. Any ideas what is wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas what is wrong? It's cold wind damage. The damaged leaves will eventually fall off but Olives really don't like cold winds. Bring it out during the days but I'd move it back indoors at night for a couple more weeks certainly, even till mid May if its still chilly at nights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve probably underestimated how cold it gets and the winds were horrendous a wee while back. Can be a bit heavy moving it but I’ll certainly give it a try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it small enough for a large clear bin liner? Cover it at night or if the winds kick up perhaps…but make sure to secure that bag in that case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind really does batter plants more than most realise. Especially cold winds. Maybe some horticultural fleece or as TxRover says, a clear bin liner would do the job. Just watch for the sun early morning burning the leaves if there's any condensation from the bin liner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mishtergrolsch Posted Sunday at 07:19 Share Posted Sunday at 07:19 Meconopsis in the gairden is in full swing. Scarified, aerated and fed the grass and its gone emerald green but needs cut about twice a fucking week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
