I am from the Land of Olive trees: Italy, Apulia. I love this tree, they are Majestic. They demand so much patience and love to grow, and become incredibly strong. Some years ago, unespectedly a small olive plant came out from soil in the garden, and I felt so happy and lucky 😍, now the shrub is growing taller every year and when someone try to suggest to cut it out, I become the toghest of the defender 😂❤️
You feel the same way as I do about Olive trees. You are indeed lucky to have had one just start growing in the garden. You should try to propagate it from cuttings when it gets older. Maybe one day you will move home and if you have a cutting in a pot, you can take the tree with you.
Fantastic vid, thanks. I retired and have about 60 trees here in South Italy, still learning the art of caring for them. I have a number of gaps in the small plot that needs filling and will certainly try your method. Thanks again.
Wow a full tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to teach anyone, anywhere, for free, how to grow olive trees from olive branches. I just pruned my 1st olive tree it was leggy and I bought it at a supermarket on a whim 2 years ago (Trader Joes). I left it in some shade while the yard was under renovation and then moved it finally to full sun. I read somewhere to trim it down to short bifurcations... I wanted to put the pretty branches in vases but would rather invest the time to propagate them. Keep the cycle going you know? Thank you!
We send cuttings all over the world and have done for years, 3 different varieties. When we plant ourselves we do not use rooting powder we use rooting liquid. 20 usd sent anywhere except Australia. We have a variety of fig cuttings too.
Can you tell us your secret formula? 🙃 Why is Australia excluded? I think I can guess. I have got these cuttings to root without hormone powder but I'm sure a good product like yours would help the process.
Great job Glenn! I recently got into bonsai & after I cut back my patio olive tree I am starting several stems. It w/b exciting when they root. Ps I absolutely love it when pets are included in garden tours. More please! 😻
Thanks Glen I will try this method, I just got an olive tree from a big box store and trimmed some stems. But I didn't want to throw them away... watching this vid will help me start another tree!
I have a large potted olive tree and I've always wanted to try propagating from branches. Your video is by far the best one showing the process. Thank you.
Great video Glenn! I've tried propagating olives from cuttings many times without any success. I’m looking to trying your method. This is an excellent guide, but you didn't tell us what country/hemisphere you are in. This is critical information, so please let us know. Thank you from Melbourne, Australia.
Franchement vous expliquer bien et très détaillé, nous sommes mi-décembre et donc je prévois de faire quelques pousses fin février 2023 en suivant votre méthode bcp à vous
Merci beaucoup.Ghislaine! It was very kind of you to comment as you did and I find it very encouraging. This was my very first video (although I have lots of gardening experience) so I hope to improve on my explanations. :) Don't limit yourself to just the 4 cuttings as I did. Use a bigger pot or tray so that even if a few cuttings don't make it, you will be sure to have some that do. A world with more Olive trees is a better world! Bonne chance!
Thanks for the excellent video. 2 Comments. Can you please include your location or season so we know what time of year to take cuttings. Feb is very different weather down here in Aust. (Yes i have worked out you are in the UK). Do the plants benefit from hardening up? Going from a humid hot house to garden seems a big step. A follow up video on how to prune young olive trees for best growth would complete the set. Thanks again, Steve(Aust)
Nice video! For sure I'm going to try this. But why do you cut of the top of the sapling? If you don't I would expect the new tree growing straight up. This way don't you get a crooked base because it branches of almost at ground level?
A good question. The top of a stem is very new and soft. It is better to only use the hard section of the stem. You can certainly try with a top section but you might find your success rate will be diminished.
I have only one question. What was the phase of the moon used to take the cuttings, and does it really matter? The method is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I prefer buying them i a shop than....because the climate is changing does not mean olive trees grow faster and produce fruit...here I see much young trees but the fruits are staying very small....so we leave it to the southern parts in Europe to grow them....success with you experiment!
I love the look of Olive trees. Here in UK they are doing really well. My tree has produced olives for the first time this year. It's worth really preparing the ground when you plant an olive tree. I dug a very large hole for my tree and put suitable soil in the hole to give the tree a good start in life.
Recently purchased a 5-6’ olive tree from a big box store. Does the tree have to be a certain height or age to propagate? I am having a hard time finding another olive tree. Thank you for the awesome video. Yes continue making videos, can you propagate a pomegranate tree if it in only 4’ tall? I am new to tree planting. I do grow herbs and vegetables. Just subscribed!
Thanks RVing LTD If you can take a cutting from a small tree that is similar to the cutting you would need to take from a larger tree, then the cutting has as good a chance of growing as any other. That's the general rule! So if the donor tree is large enough to take a woody cutting (which is what you need) from, then that cutting has just as good a chance of taking as any other cutting. From the details you provide, I would honestly say that you might set the donor tree back some as it's pretty small so I'd be more inclined to raid a neighbour's established tree for a cutting. The same goes for your pomegranate. Advertise for some cuttings on a local community website if you don't know anyone with an Olive tree. I'm sure you'll get people coming forward.
Hi Karen It's a pity I didn't start making videos earlier as I've propagated loads of figs. I will keep that in mind for a new video. Can't say I have done any papayas although our garden (in Africa) had many when I was growing up.
Nice video, you could make an update video on how are the threes after close to 2 years now. The rooting powder you used is essencial? you buy it like that or you do a mixture? Thanks
If the roots are quite well established when you put the cutting in its own pot, it should perform almost as well as any other purchased tree of a similar size (in it's first year). Thereafter there will be no difference.
Thanks for this. I've tried and failed several times to propagate my tree from cuttings- I hate to toss the branches when I prune it. I'll try it your way this weekend. I'm wondering about water... it looks like you leave about an inch of water in the bowl. When you water the cuttings, do you water the top of the pot, or can you just top off the bowl in the bottom? I do worry that I'm either watering too much or not enough. I'd also like to hear your comments about pruning olives. I've heard that you should cut the tips of pretty much all the branches to encourage next year's flowers, but that seems a little extreme. Thanks very much!
Hi Brian I ensure the pot soil is wet at the start and then I also leave water in the bowl. Use rainwater where possible. Water will rise up naturally through capillary action. However you should still check that the soil is sufficiently wet on occasion. In my experience you will barely need to water, if you have a bowl underneath (and it is sealed on top with a plastic bag). If I need to, I undo the clip on the plastic bag and pour water in through that hole. Or you can remove the plastic bag completely and water the pot in the normal way (from the top). Another option is to lower the pot into a bowl of water and water it that way. You don't want the stems swimming in water but at the same time the soil should at least be very moist at all times. Without the bowl as a reservoir, you would need to regularly water the pot. Pruning depends a lot on the age of the tree. Assuming the tree is at fruit bearing age... Olives need sunlight to grow so your tree should be sufficiently thinned out to allow for this. Fruit will only grow on the side branches not the vertical ones. You should concentrate on removing mainly vertical branches. I tend to prune in early summer. Cutting does, I believe, stimulate flowering, although I tend to cut the tips off most branches mainly to maintain a pleasing shape.
No it won't. You might experience this with other types of cuttings but not for olives. They must be covered. This is a very important part of making the propagation a success.

Hi Fadi I'm really surprised to hear that. I recently 'harvested' another crop of cuttings. I kept them really wet and all 4 grew roots in 4.5 months. Are you using Olive cuttings? :) This won't work with certain types of tree. The compost the cuttings sit in must be wet but the cuttings mustn't be immersed in water continuously. Are you definitely doing it exactly as I describe?
Interesant! Nu stiam ca maslinul se inmulteste si prin butasi! Daca se poate, as vrea sa aflu niste informatii legate de cresterea maslinului; 1. Maslinul poate sa creasca direct in gradina si daca da ce temperaturi poate suporta? Maslinul este autofertil sau este necesar un partener pentru polenizare? Taierile la maslin sunt diferite fata de alte specii pomocole sau nu? Multumesc!
Un măslin va crește bine în grădina din Marea Britanie. Dacă temperatura scade sub -10, probabil că va trebui să protejați copacul.

Producția de fructe va fi mai bună dacă există un alt copac în apropiere pentru polenizare încrucișată. Da, tăierea măslinilor diferă de cea a altor specii de arbori. Ea are un scop specific: controlul creșterii, îmbunătățirea producției de măsline și menținerea sănătății copacilor.
Thank you for such a helpful video. Would you say the soil / compost matter? I see stores sell special seeding mix while I only have a normal / all purpose bag.
Any general purpose compost will do. That's what I have used. You could probably even use a specialised compost like ericaceous (acidic) compost but I have not tried this. It should work as Olive trees can do well in acidic soil.
Hi AntPDC Thanks. :) I would protect them by putting them in a greenhouse, wrapping them in fleece, etc. as they are still vulnerable at this stage. Cheers Glenn
Hi Glenn, thanks for this! A quick question! I am in Cyprus now, and have taken some cuttings from my Grandfathers olive tree. Would you think they may still root given the time of year? If so I also would like to know if you would suggest placing them in direct outdoor sunlight, and what kind of heat and humidity to keep them at?
You should be able to plant cuttings at any time of the year. I would not recommend putting the cuttings in direct sunlight unless it is limited to a few hours. That is very important especially in the heat of summer. They should always be in spot to receive a lot of natural light though. The humidity will be high inside the plastic. They do not need to be maintained at a specific heat but I would bring cuttings in over winter.
Nejlepsi je zeptat se primo na Kypru. V Recku mi rikali, ze mnozi olivovnik vyhradne z rizku. Semena totiz musi projit zazivacim traktem ptaku, pak jsou schopna klicit. Mne se zadne rizky neujaly, vzdala jsem ty pokusy.
Where in the UK can one plant an olive tree in the ground? I am in Clydebank Scotland which is always raining & olive tree roots dont like to be wet. Are you in London ?
Thank you for the effort you made, but I think that if you placed the cuttings with two or three buds under the soil, it would be better, and then you would get much better growth, and the shrub would bear fruit from its first year.
@@gardeningwithglenn Yes, I did that, but if you want to get fruits in the same year for all fruit trees, you have to do the aerial layering process in the tree itself, to get a shrub with good roots.
I am from kashmir and i have some palestinian olive plants i tried some cuttings with rooting harmone namely take roots in the month of december 23 and some in the month of feb 24. I would like to jnfom you that in kashmir there is a frozen harsh winter thats why i like you to suggest me something. So that i may get successful in growing maple trees
The tree I took these cuttings from is now producing olives for the first time. The tree is 5 years old and 5 years is generally considered to be how long it will take an olive tree to produce fruit when grown outdoors. So you can expect to wait at least 5 years.
Growth depends on how many leaves are present on your propagated cutting and the health of the cutting. If you have quite a number of leaves at the start of the growing season, you can expect a lot more growth than if only a few leaves are present. You will notice that once there are a fair quantity of healthy leaves, growth will take off. I would expect 10cm up to about 20cm of growth in the first year - on average. If your cutting is just hanging in there, it might be less.
one of the best planting videos that i have ever seen i wish you are still making tutorials
I tried your way with 12 cuttings and all were a success! Thank you so much!
@TheBluflag I am very pleased to hear that. Well done! Are there any suggestions you would make to improve the process?

You should be able to plant cuttings at any time of the year. I would not recommend putting the cuttings in direct sunlight unless it is limited to a few hours. That is very important especially in the heat of summer. They should always be in spot to receive a lot of natural light though. The humidity will be high inside the plastic. They do not need to be maintained at a specific heat but I would bring cuttings in over winter.
Nejlepsi je zeptat se primo na Kypru. V Recku mi rikali, ze mnozi olivovnik vyhradne z rizku. Semena totiz musi projit zazivacim traktem ptaku, pak jsou schopna klicit. Mne se zadne rizky neujaly, vzdala jsem ty pokusy.

@@gardeningwithglenn Bohuzel nemam vzrostly olivovnik, ze ktereho bych vzala rizky.☹️

انا شاركت بل القناة شكرا الك
شكرا لك ابوزيد
after how long do I take the bag out? 7-10 days ago, they started to grow new shoots
Where in the UK can one plant an olive tree in the ground? I am in Clydebank Scotland which is always raining & olive tree roots dont like to be wet. Are you in London ?
Thank you for the effort you made, but I think that if you placed the cuttings with two or three buds under the soil, it would be better, and then you would get much better growth, and the shrub would bear fruit from its first year.
Have you tried that? Let me know if you have any success.

Yes, I did that, but if you want to get fruits in the same year for all fruit trees, you have to do the aerial layering process in the tree itself, to get a shrub with good roots.
I am from kashmir and i have some palestinian olive plants i tried some cuttings with rooting harmone namely take roots in the month of december 23 and some in the month of feb 24. I would like to jnfom you that in kashmir there is a frozen harsh winter thats why i like you to suggest me something. So that i may get successful in growing maple trees
Hi I wanna know after how much time this tree will give fruits?
how long does it take before there are olives on these "cuts"?
The tree I took these cuttings from is now producing olives for the first time. The tree is 5 years old and 5 years is generally considered to be how long it will take an olive tree to produce fruit when grown outdoors. So you can expect to wait at least 5 years.
Voor Boo Boo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍
Soon BooBoo will be joined by Shupi. He is a super cute boy kitty. He's also black and white like Bob Boo.
Nice can you tell me the powder name please ?
Awesome! Thx
Thank you kindly. 😊
Does it matter if the branch is too long?
Muito bom, obrigado 👏👏✋
Obrigado João
How much growth (cm) can one expect from a a newly propagated olive tree in a year? thanks in advance
Growth depends on how many leaves are present on your propagated cutting and the health of the cutting. If you have quite a number of leaves at the start of the growing season, you can expect a lot more growth than if only a few leaves are present. You will notice that once there are a fair quantity of healthy leaves, growth will take off. I would expect 10cm up to about 20cm of growth in the first year - on average. If your cutting is just hanging in there, it might be less.
Febrero que estacion del año sería para usted ...
Acá en Argentina sería fin de verano..
Nuestras estaciones son opuestas a las suyas. Febrero sería el final del invierno para nosotros.

Hello Glenn - just a quick question -what brand of root stimulator did you use for this?
The rooting powder was J Arthur Bower's. Don't worry about the brand though. Any one will help get the job done.
@@gardeningwithglenn thanks you...
Do u need rooting powder?
