How to grow an Olive tree from cuttings

There are plenty of videos out there that claim to be the way to grow a plant or tree from cuttings. Anyone can make a video like that if you're not going to show whether your method is successful or not.
So what I've done here is give you a method that will result in successful propagation of an Olive cutting. I'm sure there are a number of other techniques out there that will work but you can be certain that this is one of them! How do you know this?
Well, I show you the results after waiting 201 days. You will see the Olive cuttings have grown roots and are ready to be planted out, so this method really works.
There's the added bonus of some footage of BooBoo the cat sunning herself in the greenhouse. Miaow!
Happy gardening!

I tried your way with 12 cuttings and all were a success! Thank you so much!

Fantastic video Glenn! I’m looking to grow some olive trees from my own cuttings too. This is an excellent guide. Thank you from Australia 🇦🇺

I am from the Land of Olive trees: Italy, Apulia. I love this tree, they are Majestic. They demand so much patience and love to grow, and become incredibly strong. Some years ago, unespectedly a small olive plant came out from soil in the garden, and I felt so happy and lucky 😍, now the shrub is growing taller every year and when someone try to suggest to cut it out, I become the toghest of the defender 😂❤️

Amazing tutorial. I’m wanting to get some cuttings for my friend and today just so happens to be the 16th February.
Thanks for the help!

[Sew-em]

You did a good job. Tomorrow it is the 14 th of februari and going to try this simple method. Thank you.

You could follow up with how your little olive saplings are doing. Any other video on propagation would be helpful. You have a relaxing style.

I have two Kalemon olive trees I brought back from Crete, some years ago, I can now try taking some cuttings too!

Wow a full tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to teach anyone, anywhere, for free, how to grow olive trees from olive branches. I just pruned my 1st olive tree it was leggy and I bought it at a supermarket on a whim 2 years ago (Trader Joes). I left it in some shade while the yard was under renovation and then moved it finally to full sun. I read somewhere to trim it down to short bifurcations... I wanted to put the pretty branches in vases but would rather invest the time to propagate them. Keep the cycle going you know? Thank you!

Thank you Glen for this vedio surely I will try this.❤ I love farming gardening . Thanks can wait for more vedio

[miniscenesgb]

Helpful video indeed. I've just popped out to my garden and took some cuttings, following your steps. Thank you

[DavidEWebb]

Good way of propagating hard- wood cutting. Good presentation. Well done!

[Gamerboy-jhvg]

Thanks bro. I have now after 1 year new olive trees from cutting.

[HorsefeathersAndPrayer]

I see this was made two years ago. Hope you are still making videos, you explained everything so well

[leehouten]

Yes please make more videos. I’ve taken some cuttings from my little olive tree and put them in water but think I’ll try some more using your method

[paperpodium]

Thanks Glenn - this is brilliant. Heading out shortly to give it a whirl! And … I for one would like to see more videos from you.

We send cuttings all over the world and have done for years, 3 different varieties. When we plant ourselves we do not use rooting powder we use rooting liquid. 20 usd sent anywhere except Australia. We have a variety of fig cuttings too.

Great job Glenn! I recently got into bonsai & after I cut back my patio olive tree I am starting several stems. It w/b exciting when they root. Ps I absolutely love it when pets are included in garden tours. More please! 😻
