I've looked up various sites and I can't seem to figure out why my leaves are going brown like this
The only problem others seem to have with their olives is over watering but I haven't even watered it once since I got it the rain has always taken care of it for me , should I maybe shelter it from the rain and water it myself ?

They look ok to me. How long is it since you watered? I have to water even if we have had some rain. I would have it in full sun.

It is in full sun even though we've had no sign of sun in 4 days now lol its been raining heavy every day I've still been checking the soil just in case and it's always wet .
What do you mean by it looks alright ? Is this normal in olives ?

It looks like the pruplisch colour that olives get as they ripen. Is it not just a sunprotection colour?

Could it be that ? I didn't know that could happen, I hope it is then I also spoke to a friend with more experience than me and he said that any sort of stress can bring purplish leaves to an olive but it doesn't look like it could be anything to bad does it ?
