I have 2 very poorly olive trees, not dead as some branches have green in the middle. But should I be trimming it right back or just leave it. How often should I water? I have fed them. Any help much appreciated

1. Olives want full direct sun all day long
2. They want to dry out between waterings
3. They want good air movement and prefer low humidity
You can prune them anytime between last frost and 2 months before first frost. If there are leaves or at least green tissue under the bark, they will recover. You can remove dead branches at any time.
Are they in the ground or in pots?
How often do you water them now?
How do you decide when to water them?
What did you feed them with?
