i've just bought a metre high europea and i want to keep it indoors. i know this is probably a good idea now anyway since its freezing, but how about in the spring/summer? i live in harrow, london, with no conservatory though the large kitchen has french windows onto the garden.
is it simply a case of repotting and fertilising and watering till it just grows too big? is there a guide for caring for olive trees in the UK indoors/ outdoors? help pls! thanks :)

Yes, you can easily repot the tree. The container you plan on putting it into should be at least 7.5 cm, and soil-less compost should be used. The Olive Tree will need to be placed near a big window, getting at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Continue to re-pot as the tree grows. Eventually, it may need a 25-30 cm pot. I hope you are able to enjoy the fruits of your labor with some exquisite olive oil from the tree you grow.
