United Kingdom 
We have 2 small olive trees in pots outside but under the lee of our house. They are both shedding their leaves. Are they dying or will they grow new leaves ?

Mine 'dies' most winters and comes back, but not 'in the next few weeks' Usually kicks back in about mid July, may be earlier if I examined it for minute signs of life but we do tend to forget it until it re-appears. This year, strangely enough, despite the coldest winter for years, it still has some leaves on

Check the compost - if the plants are under shelter like that, it's possible they don't get enough water.

« Anybody any idea wether this is a Rose Reine Victoria or a Mme Pierre Ogier?
Hmm, they might shed a few as they prepare for new growth but the ones i see regularly don't do this.
2 sets of friends have some and theirs seem to retain their leaves throughout, funnily enough i saw one of the plants today and thought how good it looked.
(Theirs is located in the same position as yours)
