    Hmm, another interesting plant that'd be cool to grow–I already have grapefruit & avocado, but I want to try pomegranate, pineapple, kiwi (Isaai variety–it's cold hardy & doesn't require 2 plants, but needs good drainage, which is why my earlier attempt failed), valencia orange, cashew, & others. LOL!! All I need is a more permanent residence & a greenhouse!

    Growing zones are world wide, but often refer to USDA Zones. However, for some US states Sunset zones are far more accurate and tske into account micro-climes, etc.

    I am in USDA Zone 9b, Sunset 14/15.

    Zone 9b includes such as humid areas of Florida, very dry Texas zreas, and I am in the SF Bat Area w/low summer humidity.

    I have two fruiting olive trees! Also 40 citrus including avocados-I am on the edge zone for growing some of these.

    The only thing that you need to do is wash them very well and depending on how long you want to wait, less time you make cuts or a longer time you leave them as they are and soak them in water and salt. Then change the water once a week or so then you make sure they are covered with water add orange peel salt… its just time consuming but they are really good

    Bushdoctor68 , not always true… I grew up with a bunch of wild olive trees. We use to eat a lot of wild raw olives as kids. They always tasted good and nobody ever got sick from it. And my grandma used to pickle olives for the whole family without any special processing. But u might be wright about some olives.

    She basically just showed us how to put a plant in a pot, where's the "growing part" ? This video was useless for the title it claimed. How much sunlight, Morning or afternoon, How often to water, When to prune, how hard to prune, pests, diseases, is it harvestable, when does it fruit, when can you pick, does it need cross fertilization to set seed, How does it pollenate, by bugs, by wind, self,
    Thumbs down. She's cute, but this video was not useful at all.

    Some basic bonsai techniques and you will definitely be able to maintain a smaller tree. P.S. Olive trees symbolize martinis for me.

    I live in Zone 5 so an olive tree wouldn't be my first choice. However, even if I find a tree or shrub suitable for my climate, how do I keep the container from busting when freezing temperatures come along?
