- Planting and Potting:
- Use a well-draining pot or planting site with adequate drainage. For container planting, select a pot that supports the rounded canopy.
- Ensure the tree is planted at the correct depth, with the root ball level with or slightly above the soil surface.
- Watering:
- Water the "Copa" thoroughly when the soil surface feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as olive trees prefer slightly dry conditions.
- Reduce watering during winter when the tree’s growth slows.
- Sunlight:
- Place the tree in a location with full sun exposure, ideally receiving 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. This promotes healthy growth and maintains the cup shape.
- If grown indoors, ensure it is near a south-facing window or under grow lights to provide sufficient light.
- Pruning and Shaping:
- Regular pruning is essential to maintain the cup shape of the canopy. Trim back new growth to keep the rounded form and remove any unwanted branches.
- Light shaping may be needed to sustain the tree’s distinctive cup appearance. Avoid heavy pruning that could disrupt the shape.
- Fertilizing:
- Feed the tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring through early autumn). Reduce fertilization during the winter.
- Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive foliage growth and imbalance in shape.
- Pest and Disease Control:
- The "Copa" is generally resistant to pests but may occasionally encounter scale insects or aphids. Treat any infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Ensure good air circulation and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal diseases.
