Another tree of mine that has very quickly developed this year its doing great an ill find a pot for it by spring hoping to lift it out an place into a bonsai pot depends on the root system really . The foliage pads are filling out nice leaves are very small as well really like this tree its one of my first collect material from 20yrs ago

[Olivecrazy]

Since the weather has cooled down now an will continue to do so i decided to lift this olive tree. Its root system is very good with ok nerbari i left it covered for now but wow how this tree change so very happy with the finished tree so far

nice work olive.

for me its very much achieving the impression of size. I imagined a much larger tree until seeing you next to it.

look forward to its development.

Cheers,

Ces.

That is some amazing development in one year!

Looking really good, and once it settles into life in a pot with a touch more refinement, that will be a show stopper. This thread more than any other makes me want an olive!

Dont you think You need to thicken that right branch and that is done better in the ground?
I love your olive.
What are your plans of styling for it?

[Tony Bebb]

Coming on very nicely mate. Good work

Carving will make a very nice development for this tree. You have some really nice flow lines in the dead wood that should be your guide mate. They will give the tree more movement and complete your design if you highlight them. Don't think you will need the left branch quite so long after the carving is done.

Looking forward to watching this tree.

It could of gone another season but im thinking of putting it into the Adelaide show in September lifting it now will allow it to recover in time i hope . As for styling it i plan on making the foliage pads on the left that hang down more like the top of the tree nice an compact

[MoGanic]

Very very nice mate!!

[Neli]

I have one very similar tree. Do You have a virtual? I think if You try to make an occasional part of some the branches on the left go infront of the trunk it might look nice????
