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!
@@gardeningwithglenn. UPDATE: Out of a dozen cuttings (purely from pruning the young tree), I have five healthy olive tree plants that have now produced roots with healthy leaves. The only thing I did different was put them in seperate (smallish) pots in a large plastic lidded container. Again … thank you - thank you, I’m absolutely thrilled with the results.
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! 😻
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.
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.
Hi @HamzaKhan-nm3uq. The best time would be from Autumn (say 1 October) through to early Spring (say 1 March) if you are in the Northern hemisphere. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, add 6 months to those dates.
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!
@intelliGENeration if you get a lot of mould developing, take off the bag and give it a wash in water. In spite of there being some mould, this should not be a problem for the cuttings. Ensure the compost is not too wet. You could have less or no water in the bowl if there is too much mould but it's better to err on the side of too wet than too dry.
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!
This was a really excellent video ---- completely clear and easy to follow.I have just put in 6 cuttings from my pruning yesterday and am very much looking forward to keeping an eye on them and waiting for the autumn.Can you then put them outside or should I wait till next spring? Very many thanks --- youve significantly improved my gardening techniques!!!
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.
@ruqaiyatanzeem2471 this can vary quite a lot depending on the type of Olive tree and other factors. My main tree took about 7 years but some people report fruiting from as early as 3 years.
@mildredcalixto7300 you will have to wait up to about 6 months before the roots have developed. You should open the plastic every now and then to check that the compost is still wet or to water it. More checking is needed in the drier months. In the UK, I don't need to check at all during winter.
@@gardeningwithglenn, thank you so much for the information sir, I do live in the Philippines trying to grow Olive tree here in the farm. I got this Olive tree from Switzerland when I was in the vacation, now it’s growing, new leaves and branches . I think the climate is good for the Olive tree. Also on how to prune early.
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.
@rajnabegum4364 I wouldn't have the branch too long. You can experiment with different lengths but the length in this video seems to work consistently. If the branch were very long I imagine that it would not be successful. Hopefully someone can prove me wrong.
@metalligods I would recommend waiting at least 5 months so that good roots have developed. The bag should remain on the cuttings until you plant them out in pots.
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.
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
No, the rooting powder is not essential@@ooolivierr. I have managed to propagate without using it. I bought the powder in this video and did not mix it. Yes, that is a good idea for a follow up video. :)
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.
@TheBluflag I'm very pleased to hear that. I think I am responsible for a fair number of new Olive trees in the world which makes me happy. I will consider doing a video on pruning. :)
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?
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.
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.
Thanks for making this. I just came across an olive tree (short video on my channel) in london with dark ripe fruits. Did you take these cuttings in November in the UK? I was debating whether i should wait to take cuttings from that tree in Spring. Its only one of two trees that ripens fruit out of roughly 50 trees I've recorded in London.
@FruitPhilosopher you can take those cuttings from now until maybe 1 March - for best results. Good to take cuttings from a fruitful tree as you will be getting a genetic clone.
@tishatti I would say your best chance of success is to take the cuttings in the cold months in the UK. Probably from beginning October to beginning of March.
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.

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
You are taking cuttings at the right time for Kashmir. I would say just try and protect the cuttings from temperatures that are too low. Shield them from the wind. If you think the temperature will drop very low (less than -10c) then consider bringing the cuttings into a warmer place until the temperature is warmer.
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.
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.
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. Măslinii produc atât flori masculine, cât și flori feminine pe același copac, astfel încât sunt autofertili. 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.
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 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.
The rooting powder was J Arthur Bower's. I have also got olive cuttings to root using the method in the video but with no rooting powder. The more important aspects are the plastic covering, keeping the soil moist and a well lit area but not too much direct exposure to sunlight.
one of the best planting videos that i have ever seen i wish you are still making tutorials
Thanks for your kind words Sara. You will inspire me to do another video.
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?

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?
Try using sand instead of compost. It stays just moist enough to help the cuttings root and won’t hold too much water like compost can

how long does it take before there are olives on these "cuts"?

I did like it. I watched the commercials. I watched the commercials.
alright rootstock tree, new seedlings same performance? Vaccinate?
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.
Beautiful 😁
Yes BooBoo is a very pretty kitty. 🐱😄
here you dont mention which branch exactly you cut from the main tree. please mention it
Just use a nice straight, woody branch.
Gracias
De nada Carlos.
Excellent
Thanks. My first comment and a nice one too! 🙂
Good video
I suggest to use aloe for hormones
I'm sure a natural product like that would help but I have not tried that yet.
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.
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.
How old is your olive tree? It's gorgeous 🌿
It's almost 5 years old. Yes, it's a very pretty tree but aren't all Olive trees beautiful? :)
ואוו כל הכבוד!!
ممنون @Aym3887
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.
Măslinii produc atât flori masculine, cât și flori feminine pe același copac, astfel încât sunt autofertili. 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.
Wonderful video Glenn, thank you. Is it safe to leave them outside to overwinter in the UK, or would an outside greenhouse be better?
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
Yes would love to see more videos from you. I enjoyed this one and now subscribed. Could you do a video on fig propagation or papayas
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.
joinha amei josefa
Obrigado Josefa. Estou feliz que você tenha gostado.
Hi.what was the rooting soil medium you used? Thank u
The rooting powder was J Arthur Bower's. I have also got olive cuttings to root using the method in the video but with no rooting powder. The more important aspects are the plastic covering, keeping the soil moist and a well lit area but not too much direct exposure to sunlight.
@@glynester thank you
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.
