HI all.
One last post and apologies for the amount.
I have a sweet olive that desperately needs something done with it. Do these back bud at all? As you can see by the picture it is basically a trunk which is dead straight and then a profusion of twigs spraying all over the place. Can it be air layered with any luck? not sure that will work though as the twigs are dreadfully thin. Should it just be repotted into a bigger pot and left for another year?
Any suggestions would be awesome.
Cheers Paul

Sorry Paul. Have read it, just know nothing about it. Even googled it and learned very little.

Re: elaeagnus oldhamii assistance
They bud back well. Have a tendency to just grow up and straight so you need to wire while branches are yound or clip and grow. Leaves are slow to reduce in size but will reduce.
