Dear All,

This olive I got from a bench last year where it was near dead. Ignored, sitting in a wet dark corner of a bonsai nursery where they had taken it in as a trade. I repotted, trimmed and got some good growith this year. Now the question is.. What is the route forward in your view. I had some ideas but feedback I have been getting on fakebook suggests I might have to rethink. So I would like to hear your thoughts on this plant, and routes to the future.

Kinda looks like a bush you might get creeping out the base of a rock on a hillside. Maybe make some sort of mediterranean style landscape/ror or such? With my untrained eye, I am struggling to see a particularly strong focal point. Looks nice and healthy now though.

Great pot!

Glad this isn't a deader.
