Frequently asked questions

Do olive trees grow well in the San Francisco Bay Area?
Yes—olives generally perform best in full sun with well-drained soil. Microclimates matter, so coastal fog zones may grow slower than warmer inland neighborhoods.

How much sun do olive trees need?
Aim for 6–8+ hours of direct sun daily for best structure and vigor.

How often should I water an olive tree?
New plantings need consistent moisture while roots establish. After establishment, olives are often lower-watercompared to many ornamentals, but frequency depends on soil, heat, and container vs. in-ground.

Will my olive tree produce olives?
It depends on variety, sunlight, temperature, and pruning. Some olives are primarily ornamental; others fruit more reliably in the right conditions.

Are olive trees good for containers?
Many are, especially compact forms. Use a well-draining mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes; containers dry out faster than in-ground plantings.

Do you offer planting or garden design services?
Yes—Victory Nursery can help with planting, site prep guidance, and garden design planning (especially Mediterranean / low-water layouts). We can also advise on spacing, irrigation approach, and plant pairing for a cohesive look.
