Shohin Olive

[Mr.E]

Here is my olive tree I have been working on for a couple of years, I have had it for 4 or 5 years now. This olive is very slow growing in my garden, but otherwise healthy. It stands about 7 inches and is a mother/daughter twin trunk, which the smaller trunk is hiding/protected by the larger trunk in the back.
Here it is basically as purchased, sorry it's not the whole plant and the only photo i could find.

I plan to remove these 2 larger branches on the top left in favor of the 2 small shoots just above. Once the small shoots get a little larger.

As well as a general cut back once it gets a little warmer here, not that it gets very cold!

Very nice! That branching that was down low...sweet. Could not have asked for better placement of that one.

This turned out really great. Great job. I love olives.

Very cool little olive!

 

[Mr.E]

I removed the 2 larger branches on the left side, one a couple months ago and the other today to make room for the smaller shoots. Applied a little wire and trimmed back the longer shoots to length. This plant is growing well this year, maybe because I’ve remembered to fertilize somewhat regularly….

first picture is right around the front.
