Hi Kirky,

If I do a google search for 'jelly bean olive' I get zero results. Do you have the species name?

Inaturalist is a resource I typically go to if I want to see pictures of a particular species. Interestingly, it only has observations for 2 species of olive in Australia https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observat ... ew=species

The reason I'm putting this resource out there is because it is usually incredibly useful to see pictures of certain species. You may need to remove the Australia filter as some species of tree used for bonsai don't get observed as they are imported. I also wanted to suggest this resource as a while back you were looking for examples of elm trees. https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/observat ... ew=species

Thanks TimIam, I have no idea what a Jelly Bean Olive is either. Found it on Ray Nesci Nursery site, thought I would find out if anyone has or heard of one. Looking to place an order for some hard to find stock here in Melb. Will ask him when I place my order. Thanks for the links will check them out.
Cheers

It looks like they've got it listed as a cultivar rather than a separate species. Ray has worked on and provides a few different cultivars, I have one of their crab apples.

They are always helpful, so sure they can tell you.
