    Hello all.
    I have two olive trees. There are in pots - any advice on the size of the pots please. Do we think they are big enough or no?

    I'd say that pot is big enough, but the plant looks a little starved.
    Maybe some feeding would help.
    A close up pic would be good.

    Pot looks fine infact better than the ones mine are stuck in. As said above, a good feed maybe.

    Mine are in too small pots in knackered clay soil and looked dreadful. Plunge watered/fed and now lush and full if flowers. Been nipping the growing tips too.
