Re: New Olive Stock
Just pot it and keep it alive for two seasons then decide on any styling for the future. Whilst you could probably find a suitable front this may change as the branches grow, but this can still give you an insight to the future of it. Allowing the tree to fully recover and flourish again will speed up styling when it comes to it. Re the deadwood, treat it with lime sulphur to preserve it and wait as well. I wouldn't reduce or style it till you style the tree as this may also change. You can't put it back once you carve it out. Nice find
