What’s eating my Olive Trees?

Ellen36 · August 2020

My Olive trees are being eaten by something and I can’t work out what. The holes are round the edges of the leaves, can’t see any in the middle. Both my trees are covered and would really appreciate some advice.

That looks like vine weevil damage.

Have a look on this thread from last September: https://forum.gardenersworld.com/discussion/1032874/sad-looking-olive-tree

Thank you, appreciate your help. Hopefully I can now start getting them back to their best

Good luck...we all have them in our pots to some degree. So so the odd torch lit raid and kill any adults that are actively feeding on them to help stop further deterioration. The progress will be slow but given proper care they'll be fine.
