How to care
Aspect
Sunny
The Olive Tree likes to be reminded of its Mediterranean roots and loves the sun. Irish Moss is happy in the sun and also tolerates the shade.
Care Level
Low maintenance
Prune the Olive Tree in the late spring to desired shape. The Irish Moss is very independent.
Watering
Regularly
Little and often, Olive Trees and Irish Moss don't like being too wet.
Feeding
Compost when planting
Irish Moss benefits from an occasional feed once or twice a year but Olive Trees are used to being in poor quality soil.
Soil
Compost
Plant with a good quality, peat free compost and offer a liquid feed once or twice a year to encourage growth.
