Hello, seeking advice please! We purchased an olive tree last week for our kitchen. It’s quite SV well established tree. 35ltr pot, about six foot tall. Over the past week I’ve noticed a few leaves turning yellow. Please can you advise ?

    Looks like possible pest damage? If you inspect the damaged leaves do you see any tiny black or white spots that could be bugs? If not than it could also be too much water. Have you watered the plant since you purchased it? Lastly, some yellowing of leaves is expected, especially for a new plant that needs to get acclimated to your house.

    Thanks for that, I’ve just examined the leaves and can’t see any signs of pests. Watering no, we haven’t watered it yet (one week in our possession not sure when the garden center las watered) looks like it could be the climate alteration. Thanks for the info I shall keep an eye on it.

    I’m back! If the yellowing of the leaves are down to transportation. How long should it take the tree to become climatized. It’s one week yesterday from being outside to inside and the leafs turning yellow seem to becoming more and more. I was wondering how long do I leave it before considering relocating to another part of my house.
