My olive tree sheds its leaves SO MUCH. Is it still fine? Looks like branches downside are getting stiff and leaves are curled. Or I should take out from the pot and examine the roots?

Looks very dry. Olive trees need about 6 hours of full sunlight. But, it won’t hurt to check the roots.

Thank you so much! I should check the roots. 😭
