Multi Head Olive Trees (Olea Europaea Multi Head Cloud)

Multi Head Olive Exotic Trees Description

The Multi Head Olive Tree is a unique and ornamental variety, prized for its sculptural, cloud like appearance. This tree features multiple trunks or heads, which are trained to create a striking, rounded canopy. Its silvery green, evergreen foliage provides year round interest and brings a touch of Mediterranean charm to any garden or outdoor space. Typically grown in containers or as a feature tree in larger gardens, the Multi Head Olive Tree is perfect for adding a focal point to modern or Mediterranean style landscapes.

Pruning Advice

Shaping: To maintain the desired multi head shape, prune the tree in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. Remove any unwanted shoots and trim back any branches that disrupt its overall form.

Encouraging Strong Growth: If the tree is becoming too leggy or top heavy, prune back some of the older branches to encourage bushier growth. This will help maintain a balanced structure, especially in container grown trees.

Removing Dead or Damaged Wood: Always remove any dead, damaged, or diseased wood to keep the tree healthy. This should be done as needed throughout the year, ideally during the dormant period.

Fruiting Considerations: While olive trees may not always produce large quantities of fruit in the UK, pruning to remove excess growth can help redirect energy to fruiting if conditions are right. Ensure the tree has plenty of light exposure and good air circulation to encourage any potential fruiting.

Winter Care: In colder climates, protect the tree from harsh winter conditions by wrapping it with horticultural fleece or moving it into a sheltered spot during extreme cold spells. Pruning at this time will also help prevent damage from frost.
