Answer 2

There's no exact answer, most olive seeds will need 'cold period' to break dormancy, 2 - 4 weeks in wet sands inside a fridge will be enough for most varieties, it may take another 4 weeks in potting soil to actually germnate, also scarification helps a lot to reduce the germination time, always plant much more seeds than you need, most may not germinate or stay dormant for up to a year, olives are commercially propagated by cuttings and seeds are also not true to type.

Answer 3

It typically takes about 3-4 weeks for an olive seed to germinate, provided that it is placed in the appropriate conditions such as warmth, moisture, and sunlight. Patience is key when waiting for olive seeds to sprout.
