Hello all,
I got these olives earlier this year and just decided to pot them today. The trunks are well
developed but branches need the work now I like how it turned out, what's your thoughts?
I need to move the first tree on left a bit more...

I would love to have an olive forest, it should be fun. I agree with your idea of moving at least one tree. As planted they appear to be equally distance from one another. I prefer some thing more asymmetrical. Also, I would suggest moving them forward a tad, the back one is pretty close to the edge of the pot compared to other sides. These trees should grow some branches quickly, a year from now, this will be much more fully developed, keep us posted.
Nice, I agree with Judy about the spacing though.Not sure where you live but we grow a lot of olives in southern California and do this kind of work in summer not going into winter. Hope you can keep the trees protected over the winter. If you can give them bottom heat it'll speed up the recovery greatly this time of year.
This is better! Can the back tree be slanted a bit, perhaps to the right? The other trees already have that feel to them, and the back tree is so straight, it might help that aspect too.
You should go and update your profile, so people will know where you live, and be able to answer your questions appropriately.
Ris, I really like the finished picture in the first post with the flat rocks on the surface. It reminded me of an olive garden. Its good looking material, I just think your first instinct was the best but to each his own.
