Olive trees leaves look miserable
Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2014 11:49 am
Hello everybody!
I don't know if anybody can help on this. Two of the olive trees at my parents' garden look miserable (photos attached). It's been some weeks now and although my parents added fertiliser and they water them twice a week nothing improved. They are full of olives that also look a bit withered and I don't think is the best moment to spray them. The first impression you get when you see them is as if they need water. I find it strange that this is really the problem because they are watered twice a week (climate here is hot in the summer) but it has always been like this. As you will see from the photos the leaves look a bit curled/folded and down but no dry leaves. What sort of sickness is this and what needs to be done? We heard from other people around the area that their olive trees started getting sick too.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
