How can my olive tree grow fastest to get olives as soon as possible?
I have an olive tree about 5 ft tall, got it as a gift for my birthday. Should I plant it outside, given that I live in Belgium and the winters can get like -15°C ? And how many years until it starts growing olives ?

You don't want to plant it outside if your winter temps get down to -15C. -5C will kill all the new and small growth and -10C can kill the entire tree. As Reynwater already mentioned, normal bearing age is four years, but if you have to keep it inside it may never fruit. About the only option you have is to put it in the biggest pot you can still handle and move it back and forth according to the weather.
