I planted an Olive tree a few weeks ago and watered it frequently as I
thought was correct with any newly planted container grown plant.
Unfortunately some leaves started to go yellow and drop off so I cut
the watering down. The leaves now look a bit curly and not well. How
can I tell how much to water it and will it be ok please?

You have the right idea. Benign neglect is best for lemons trees and olive
trees!
