Just got told today that i could be mooving to Melb with work and dont really want to get rid of my olives but not sure how they would handle the cold down there..
Would be good to hear from someone who is keeping them in a cold climate as to see how they go, or weather i should get rid of them before i moove...
Any help would be great

And yes your olives will be fine here in chilly melbourne with the right enclosures. There are plenty of people who regularly breed olives down here.
Cheers Rossco.
