Found a relatively thick-thrunked olive (6-7 cm) tree at a local nursery, but the foliage and ramification only appears at about 1 m height. It also appears to have some nice trunk flare hidden in the pot, but I can't be sure without a repot. I've heard that olive trees can have their trunk chopped back hard, even below any ramification that they readily back bud. Can someone around here with experience confirm this information?
The tree is currently selling very cheap (I think) at 29€. I'm tempted. Also, what would be the best time to do the trunk chop? Can I do the trunk chop and take of the roots (and repotting) all at the same time or should I do these on different years?
