Reading the forum care guide for olives it says they should be protected when temperatures get too low.

For an olive, what is too low? Freezing? 10 above on some temperature scale (C,F)? Below?

There is some debate about this. They can take some frost. But it is unclear whether this affects them one way or the other.

My olives go to a greenhouse against rain mostly.

My Olives had -10C last winter under an open cover to keep rain off

I didn't have this site on my list of care guides. They have a couple I was missing.

Thanks.

Hi, I live in Milan, northern Italy, where temps can drop to -10 Celsius in January.
I wrapped my two Olive trees last winter into a non-woven fabric cover (tree + pot) for just a few days (when temp went below -5) and they were (and are) OK.
