Olive trees need a subtropical atmosphere and do best with mellow winters and long, warm, and dry summers. They are touchy to hard solidifying conditions. They will grow in atmosphere zones 10 and 11. A few assortments are strong enough for zone 9 or even 8.
Zone 1
|
Below -46ºC (below -50ºF)?
|
Zone 2
|
-46 to -40ºC (-50 to -40ºF)?
|
Zone 3
|
-40 to -34ºC (-40 to -30ºF)?
|
Zone 4
|
-34 to -29ºC (-30 to -20ºF)?
|
Zone 5
|
-29 to -23ºC (-20 to -10ºF)?
|
Zone 6
|
-23 to -18ºC (-10 to 0ºF)?
|
Zone 7
|
-18 to -12ºC (0 to 10ºF)?
|
Zone 8
|
-12 to -7ºC (10 to 20ºF)?
|
Zone 9
|
-7 to -1ºC (20 to 30ºF)?
|
Zone 10
|
-1 to 4ºC (30 to 40ºF)?
|
Zone 11
|
Above 4ºC (above 40ºF)
|
Temperatures beneath 22ºF (- 5ºC) will execute little wood and branches. Solidifying conditions enduring days or a hard stop, beneath 15ºF (- 10ºC), will kill or seriously harm an olive tree. It is ideal to abstain from planting olive trees in circumstances where there is a high danger of ice during blossom (late April to mid-May) or where solidifying conditions are likely before reap. Summer precipitation can cause parasitic and bacterial pervasions.
