Hi I recently purchased a cutting of this and would
like to let it grow wild to thinken. If I do so will
it back bud when I eventually cut it back. I have read
on one place that they are prone to shock when pruned
hard. How do I let it it grow bigger(thicker) if they
are not good with hard pruning. (which I would need to
do later)

Thanks in advance.

My experience with olives is that not much shocks them- they are very
unfussy. When I was in Provence, I saw olive trees in orchards over
a hundred years old that were still budding back like crazy.
However, that's in the Meditteranean, the ideal home for an olive.
You need to put your cutting in a big pot. Then you need to keep it
outdoors as much as possible (given your location in Ontario). My
olive tolerates indoor conditions surprisingly well, but it would
never grow if I didn't put it outside. Even so, it's not a champ in
the girth department, and never will be, unless I move to a warmer
location.

Do you have a standard Olea europaea or a dwarf cultivar like "Little Ollie?"
From my experience with "Little Ollie," it buds back very readily. The trouble
is, this cultivar is patented, so, like Ficus 'TooLittle,' it is usually sold
with a wink instead of a label.

Iris I had no idea there was a dwarf Olive. It is
labeled "Olea europea" but it says the mature height
is 24-48". I was just assuming the label was wrong and
it meant 24-48'. The foliage doesn't look very
"dwarfish" the longest leaf is 3". How long is the
foliage of the dwarf Olive? Thanks for the info.

If you want to see how drastically an olive can be cut back and grow
then you absolutely MUST go to this site.

You had better be sitting down when you take his olive tour.

Yeah. Some of those pics were in the winter 2002 ABS Journal --
including that very dangerous-looking shot of chain sawing a tree
wired onto a small turntable. (!)

Thanks for posting this excellent URL. The amount of root reduction and
new root production achieved is absolutely amazing.

The only note of caution I would add is that the trimming being done
with a razor sharp knife must always be done AWAY from the body. I have
no pulse in my left wrist due to a momentary lapse of concentration when
I first took up carving as a teenager!

Hi Jim.

Thanks for the great pointer to www.dugzbonsai.com/.

His sale material titled "California Juniper 2" has a view that shouldn't be
missed. From the horizon to the left, the photographer might be
understating the angle upon which this hoary tree sits. Nice space shared
in a great photo http://www.dugzbonsai.com/forsale3.htm!

Best wishes,
Chris

I would bet on the label being mis-labeled.
