A young olive tree is expected to require 15 to 20 liters of water per week during the growing season. Providing irrigation, is an important factor for high quality fruit development. The volume of water required by the trees is dependent on the factors like age of the tree, size, humidity, wind, soil texture, soil depth, growth stage, rainfall etc. The drip irrigation system is deployed to irrigate the olive farms.
Some other watering recommendation for olive trees are: newly planted trees (0–1-year tree needs 10 liters of water per week in summer), 5-year-old olives tree needs 675 liters of water per tree, if the soil is dry and 10-year-old olives tree needs about 1875 liters of water per tree per watering cycle.
