Black Olive

I've just bought a very pretty little black olive in a half-gallon nursery pot. It's trunk has about a 2.5" circumference at the base and is only about 4" tall with a nice umbrella-like spread. I want to keep it small so I don't plant to move it to a training pot. My question is really, how to look after it. I live in an apartment with a balcony facing north. There is some late afternoon sun. For the winter I would put it in a big storage box with plenty of mulch and holes in the bottom. But what are its specific needs in terms of plant food, water etc? My soil mix, intended for tropicals is 1/3 clay particles, 1/3 granite grit and 1'3 fine bark.
