Here are 5 short tips for germinating Olea europaea (Olive tree) seeds:
 
Stratify the Seeds – Refrigerate seeds for 1-2 months before planting to break dormancy.
 
Soak the Seeds – Soak seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting.
 
Use Well-Draining Soil – Plant in a sandy, well-draining soil mix to prevent rot.
 
Keep Warm – Maintain temperatures around 20-25°C (68-77°F) for best results.
 
Water Sparingly – Keep the soil lightly moist but avoid overwatering.
 
Germination can take 4-6 weeks, so be patient!
