Hello again,
I recently acquired a Arbequina olive tree from a local outfit; it had a label from a California nursery (fourwindsgrowers.com). I am not crazy about the soil its in, it seems to be some sort of mulchy cedar-like, an off-red colored mulch of some sort.
I'd appreciate some advice on some better draining soil, as well as when I can attempt to repot it into this soil. I am currently in zone 5b so summer temps are in the 25-32C ranges in july and august, and around october-november when temperatures are below 10C I have a temperate location I keep my trees until the beastly winter is over.
So any tips as to what composition of soil I can put together as well as whether or not I need to wait till next spring would be appreciated for this newbie. thanks!
