young olive tree in pot troubles
Hi there, hope this is the right place to ask such a question... My 5yo olive tree that I grew from a cutting is a nice young tree living in a pot BUT, for the last 2 years his new leaves are curling and drying out in a weird way. Some of them grow to be 4-5 cm long then dry in the middle or get brown patches randomly (not the tip) and then drop. Some twist and dry in very early stages. I spent a good amount of time on google but I could not find any answers to that. Anybody? Please?
Try repotting. It could be salt tip burn from accumulated salts in the pot. This would be especially true if you see white stains around the drain holes and inside the pot. Make sure you do not over fertilize and that you flush the media thoroughly at least every other watering to flush out excess salts. Use a dolly so it is easier to move.
