Big ass olive

[ozzy]

Is progressing well, I like it ... I like it a lot









Have a look at the feet on it

Can't wait to see a virt someone could do on this. Maybe time to cut all branches back short, or wire and shape, to get some horizontal pads happening.

I agre with hack, Time to wire out the branches to get them started in the correct directions while you can

WOW nice project Ozzy. Time for leader selection, branch selection and lots and lots of wire.

[Hackimoto]

Let me at it I'd love to get my hands onto that one, even for a couple of hours.

That's some great material... Can see a fantastic tree out of that in the future... As the others have said .. Time to wire, even if they are not final branches better to wire down a bit before its too late!

[ozzy]

Yeah it needs a haircut doesn't it? , have just left it to go wild and throw out new roots, it was flat cut with a chainsaw so it had no roots at all, I like to let them go nuts for a while as its a two way street, lots of top growth = lots of roots, then cut back and look at it go, was thinking of doing something like this ...

[ozzy]

Will likely just clip and grow with this one too, minimal wire if any.

Good to see another (always underated ) olive...it will be a MONSTER in no time...
Looking forward to seeing where this goes...

[Hackimoto]

You have a winner there. To my way of thinking the foliage pads could go a fair bit wider, a little higher and kept in an elongated umbrella shape. The lower one in particular, and the others, to come across the trunk, slightly hiding those parts of the trunk. Great tree, wish I had it.

[matlea]

Agree with hacki... Pads could be larger/ extend further given the size of the trunk... I'm sure there are a few out there salivating over this one!!

[ozzy]

More foliage ...

This last picture is looking good how high is the tree my self i would go a little higher giving the tree some more taper at the top with the possibility of more foliage pads as well
