... Pardon my French but f##k me. I'd love to know how you do this Alpine. I could sit and look at your olives all day. The 2 I collected in Sept 2013 have not done a thing. Once again,

Hi Raymond , you keep you cotton picken eyes off my olives , seriously the ones we collected at the club dig last year have all struck . All of these were flat cut with a chain saw then had the chain bar oil washed off the bases before planting in scoria beds or sand tray then watered daily . Nothing special about keep them wet just squirted with the hose .The beds stay moist but not too wet and are situated under black shade cloth in shade under a gum tree.

Cheers Alpine

Hi Biocs , thanks mate , it lost 1 well placed branch but an olive will grow another in most cases .

Hi Ulf , thanks mate , to me its just a bonsai trainer . This needs another couple of seasons before i will class it as a bonsai but thats just my opinion . I have many trainers and very few bonsai .

Cheers Alpine
