Planting: Plant your Leccino Olive in an area that receives 6 to 8 hours of sunlight each day and in well-drained soil for best results. We recommend using a pollinator for the Leccino – the Arbequina is a good option for best fruiting and higher production.Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Place it inside the hole and backfill soil, tamping down as you do. Finally, water your Leccino to settle its roots.If you're container-planting, select a pot (with drainage holes) that's twice as large as your plant's shipped container. Use organic soil, place your tree in the pot, and select a sunny spot for your Leccino.2. Watering: Simply check your soil. When the soil is dry down to the first 2 inches, it’s time to water the tree. 3. Pruning: During the first few years, only minimal pruning is needed for your Leccino. For indoor trees, pruning regulates fruit production and shapes the tree for easier harvest and your desired size.4. Fertilizing: Feed with a nitrogen-based blend, following label instructions. Fertilize your Leccino until it starts bearing olives.5. Harvesting: If you’re wanting to harvest naturally black olives for table use, pick them in November.
