i have an olive that has taken 18 months before it started shooting branches olives just don't seem to die when in good care

Hi Davo this is one of many "works in progress .

Hey Chris i can kill anything including an olive and all my plants are in good care ,just ask the little lady .Cheers Fella's

This had a trim and wire a few weeks ago , a re-shape and re-pot in the process . Another season or two and it should be a good example .

... 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,

Cracking tree Alpine.
Well done on this one mate.
Coming along very nicely indeed.

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 .
