Spiral Multi Headed Olive Exotic Trees Description

The Spiral Multi Headed Olive Tree is an ornamental tree prized for its striking, sculptural appearance. Characterised by its twisted, spiral shaped trunk and multiple heads, this tree offers a unique Mediterranean touch, making it a standout feature in gardens, patios, and containers. Its silvery green, evergreen foliage provides year round interest, while its architectural form adds an elegant and contemporary flair to any space. Although native to the Mediterranean, the Spiral Multi Headed Olive Tree thrives in mild climate when planted in a sunny, sheltered spot.

Pruning Advice

Shape Maintenance: To maintain its distinctive spiral shape, regular pruning is essential. It is best to prune the Spiral Multi Headed Olive Tree in late winter or early spring, before the new growth begins. This helps maintain its neat, sculptural form and ensures the tree stays healthy.

Light Pruning for Form: Trim any long or unwanted shoots that disrupt the spiral shape, and remove any dead or damaged branches. Lightly prune around the heads to ensure they stay compact and symmetrical. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can disrupt its natural form.

Encourage Healthy Growth: Pruning also promotes strong, healthy growth. Regular thinning of internal branches will allow air and light to reach the centre of the tree, which will help prevent diseases and encourage fresh growth.

Winter Care: If your Spiral Multi Headed Olive Tree is grown in a pot, ensure it is well protected from harsh winter conditions. Olive trees are not frost hardy and may need to be moved to a sheltered spot or covered during extreme cold spells. Prune the tree lightly in late winter before the new growing season begins.

Fruit Production: While olive trees in the UK may not always produce fruit due to the cooler climate, if your tree does produce olives, pruning will help encourage healthy fruiting. Keep its form tidy, and remove any crowded or overlapping branches to allow the tree to focus energy on fruit production.
