Solid tree mate! Some gnarly bark and movement. Yes I'm jealous! All the best.

Very nice tree! One of the most naturalistic and well proportioned yamadori olives I have seen. Would love to see progress with this tree. :cool:

would love to see photos of the original tree too. We will have to wait a while before we have olives that old here in Australia! Those ancient trees are stunning! I have seen a few olive Bonsai around here which have that same appeal as the Eastern/Mediterranean trees but as a credit to there design and artistry to create an aged appearance. What an inspiration it would be to see these old trees in person.
