Fleecing your Olive Tree is only necessary if the UK withstands severe winters/frost. Also, if you live in the north of the UK and Scotland or if your tree is in a position that’s exposed to winds. The porous construction of the fleece allows the passage of light, air and water and also creates an excellent microclimate. The fleece supplied is approximately 3 metres x 3 metres and can be positioned over the crown (foliage) and then tired down around the trunk as shown in picture (A). You can purchase this product individually or add it to any product on our website

Step 1: Choose the tree you wish to add a horticultural fleece to. Position your tree into a clear area so that you will be able to manoeuvre around the whole tree. In this case, we are using a Spanish Gnarled Olive Tree
Step 2: Using strong rope/string, tie a separate piece of rope to each corner of the fleece (don’t cut your rope/string too short). Please do not make any holes in the fleece to attach the string, use a strong knot to attach the rope to the fleece. Next, tie a piece of rope onto each side of the fleece (centrally in between each corner) In total, you should have 8 pieces of rope tied to the horticultural fleece. 
Step 3: Position the fleece evenly over the crown (foliage) of you tree. Then pull down gently and then tie all the 8 pieces of rope/string to the bottom of the trunk. Add more rope if necessary to secure any loose fleece against strong winds. 
Step 4: The process is now complete! Your plant will now be protected from harsh cold winds during the frosty season.
