Thanks Watto. Initially when I saw it I was thinking dig and sell it but after potting it up I quite like it. Think I might keep it. Well atleast for a while haha. Will post a photo when it has some leaves. Here is the "sell" area of my olives

Well I made the mistake of digging this today! Easy enough to dig but dragging it back to the car was a challenge in itself.

There are some really great finds there, well done!

I find with olives that it’s easy to find in Sydney.

The issue I find as a beginner is how to style them and getting ramification.
I’m still a beginner so I’m use to working with junipers and elms.

And links or advice would be appreciate or just interested on how you’ll be styling these ones.
Good luck with the trees though.

Most of the trees have been sold. I dug the big one for a mate in NSW. I will post photos of the ones I have as i style them and they start to ramify
