Dry Olive Tree

Hi, my olive tree leaves seem to be on the dry side, can overwatering cause this? I know olive trees don’t like to be overwatered, I’ve checked the soil and feels quite wet. Any tips would be appreciated, thank you!

    My olive tree lost a lot of leaves this time last year.  They need more water than you would think.  I pruned it back and they were growing again within the month.

    PS. ovewatering can acause this as well.  "Water retentive-fast draining" is the by-word.
     location: Surrey Hills, England, ex-woodland acidic sand.
