Hi.

Well i completed my first attempt at finding something worth digging. Was on the look out for River Red Gums, but stumbled apon this in sted.

Yep, olive. Nice work.

Nice find. Starting to show some nice bark as well I notice.

Hi.
One of the trunks had 9 growth rings that I could count, and the other had 7 growth rings. Found some others that a friend on the local council told me would be 60 to 70 years old. Interesting that are located at a location of one of the regions earlst wineries before Thay moved to Griffith.

Cheers Alpine

Hi.

Well as of today I noticed that it has finally budded

Small leaves

Took four months to show any signs of life.

Now to keep it inside at night as its going to get cool at night and bring it out in day light.

Bring on spring

Regards.

Well done mate, a successful dig is a joy.
I have a few olives and I keep them outside all the time, certainly don't mollycoddle them. You may be in for a long winter taking them in and out each day?
