I recently purchased a fat little wild olive (Olea europea silvestrys). After spending some time with it I think I have come up with a suitable design and intended direction for the tree. The pictures below show (1) the tree as it is now, (2) a virtualisation of where I would like it to go, and (3) a hand drawn visualisation of the trees intended future.






If all goes to plan I hope to have an agreeable shohin sumo-olive. Let me know what you think?

This was the style that popped out to me when I first looked at your Olive.

The major challenge will be the smaller trunk but if you successfully navigate that I think you will have a very pleasing little (fat) tree in a short space of time.
Let us know how you go!

Yes the smaller trunk might be a bit difficult to manage, but hopefully it will work out.

I will be post the progression of this tree on my blog over the coming months and years.
