Q.Olive Trees
We live in central England and have 3 old olive trees that were planted early spring and were thriving. We suffered with a very cold spell over Christmas, albeit with not a lot of snow, and 2 of the trees have lost all of their leaves. The 3rd has a few remaining leaves. They don’t have any buds but the stems are still green and bendy. Wiil they recover? Is there anything we should be doing to encourage growth?

As long as the stems are still alive, the trees can recover. The best thing that you can do with them is to just give them a little extra TLC. Trees that are more stressed are more likely to get pests so keep a sharp eye out for a possible pest infestation and treat it as soon as possible if you see one start.
