Pruning a Large Olive Tree

Tips from Real-Estate-Agents.com

Q: I have a 30-foot-high, 30-year-old olive tree. How severely can it be pruned?

A: In general, a mature tree shouldn't be pruned more than approximately 20% in one season. However, this figure can be more or less, depending on the individual tree.

Not all 30 foot high, 30-year-old olive trees can be pruned the same. The pruning history, health, and overall condition are just a few of the factors to be considered when correctly pruning a tree. You are advised to contact a licensed tree service for best results to maintain the health of your tree.
