Yes you guessed it , i'm out and about cutting loose on another plant .Just thought i would play with this olive .In Brief it was cut , drilled and split

Then to top it off i fabricated a living wedge and inserted it then screwed it together For an in depth look the full topic is on my blog .

Cheers Alpineart

Well this worked and failed at the same time . The main trunk inserted died however the 2 inserts have grown .Whom ever said you cant kill an olive has never shot them hard enough . Time for an overhaul of the trunk and foliage , in my spare time one day maybe .

Cheers . Alpineart

never mind if it dies Alpine. I know a bloke that digs them up your way.

G'day Brian , I'll kill it before it dies . I plan to hollow the 2 main trunks out at the base , maybe spread them a bit like a book , put a few bars in there and lock Tom Thumb up .

That bloke dont dig , he hacks them off with a chainsaw .

Cheers Mate . Alpine

Well I decided to unscrew this trunk and carve it just a little , another surprise in store here . No crevices for the critters to hide in , just plain scolloped carving .The first single trunk has a nice shape to it already , might just pot it up and call it a bonsai
