Hello, My first post and i hoping someone can help me.

Long story short, we have just moved house and we moved our olive tree that was planted after the birth of my daughter olivia 4 years ago. Its now not looking very well. It was dug up from a similar raised planter and moved and was back in the soil within an hour.

Its losing a lot of leaves, we really don't want to loose her.

    Moving any big specimen will always be a risk, even how quickly you move them. Provided it is all planted in well and all heeled in making sure the surface remains the same and all possible air-pockets are removed. Make sure the plant is watered in thoroughly. Continue to water it every 4-5 days especially as the weather warms up soon. 

    Don't worry about the amount of leaves dropping, that can happen. This is usually the plant's way of conserving water. Once it settles in, new leaves should form.
