Masterpiece
I just potted up a little olive I bought from a landscape nursery, probably in late 2014, and I thought I'd share its evolution thus far - it's certainly been instructive for me.
It was several feet tall, and I cut off all the long stuff so it could stand up in the car. One of the reasons I bought it (besides he fact that it was something like $16) was the larger base - yes, it has kind of a funny hump, but I found it oddly charming. This is what it looked like when I brought it home:
This post is partly a cautionary tale about not chopping low enough, because over the following year I cut it back repeatedly without ever getting anywhere. What a waste of all that energy!
