This small olive was a gift from a friend who dug this lump of wood when digging a handful of single trunk trees. He thought this one would be right up my alley!
It’s the second year I am growing it. Last year I cut off all the original trunks and branches and let it recover from being ‘flat bottomed’ (essentially cutting it completely off at the roots and growing it like a giant cutting). During this re-potting i was pleased to see a good spread of surface roots all around the base of the cut, allowing for planting it into a very shallow container should I ever want to.
This year I will begin to start building some branch structure and filling it out. I’m starting to think I have a thing for clump style…………
