I traded this olive a couple of months ago. I have been studying it since with not a clue what to do. Had a few ideas then today, I got out the tools and did some carving.

It has a long ways to go, but in WA it should power away next spring if not before if the weather stays like it is.I think it will be a keeper and trunk ratio to height is quite good almost sumo.

nice tree how high is the tree

It is 29cm at the moment will probably let it get to 35. Just see how we go a bit more carving to hollow it out more.

Hi Pup

G,day Mate if you saw what I traded for this olive you would see this is small, as I am down sizing.

35cm high when finnished sounds great will you lime sulphur the dead wood or leave it grey looking

G,day Crazy, I prefer the gray look and olive wood is so hard I do not use anything on them. This one will probably get the fire treatment though as it gets rid of the fluffy bits left by the carving.
