Olive tree

Someone bought me a small one last year. I repotted it and it was doing ok. Now though, 12 months on, it’s leaves look sparse. In fact some are dropping.

can’t tell if I’m overwatering maybe? Any ideas?

I don’t water my olive tree. It’s like lavender in terms of water needs ( as far as I know ). That’s why I have put them together. I plant , water in and ignore. My strategy has worked so far 😂

Feed it! They like tomato food when grown in pots. Need well drained soil (think about the climate where they are native species), not too much water but really appreciate tomato feed....

Could be earlier weather. I have lost one and second only just showing any life.

I've lost several olives, last winter was really too cold for them, and only one of mine is showing signs of recovering.
