It went: "
That troubled olive I've been pestering JudyB about has been INSIDE all winter (as she suggested to remedy the leaf drop and general withering) and it has responded very nicely even putting out some new shoots, one of which actually qualifies as a ...limb.
Now, my concern is reacclimating it to outside. I don't want it to be an indoor olive.
But how would it react to sudden 35-42 degree nights after a winter of obvious recovery?
This is a bit perplexing. Locally a BUNCH of folks who meet weekly spent the last Wednesday repotting a ....bunch... of trees.
Are they doomed? 55 degree days and 34-40 nights. Their mix was elms, zelkova, and Japanese maple.
The only two trees I am concerned with are the olive and a boxwood and my "book" says buxus is very tolerant of abuse.
No?
The box had NO root pruning. A simple slip pot into some mix that has SOME akadama and organic. MUCH better soil as I think.
But asking just the same.
My two options are to bring those 2 trees BACK inside for the balance of the season (month and a half)
or....
let them try to cope with the colder environment.
Any recos or flames appreciated.
