OLEA EUROPEA LITERATI....

You dont find olives with this shape very often..It has very good natural characteristics as well as you can see....it was wheather bitten on that rocky slope i found it....i reduce the bulk of dead wood..Do you agree with me or i shouldnt have done it?

Not sure savvas but it is look ok to me.
Have a good care of this tree, I didnt like the roots as I told you.

I will do my best....

the trunk is different from what we usually see on the olive trees that we collect

give it time to recover and then you can make your plans on how you will work on it

The nearby herd did the job...

Interesting trunk, but i think that the first 1/3 of the tree, is weak related to the rest. Nebari looks poor and also inverse tapering is a problem that has to be corrected in the future.
It's a difficult tree to become presentable but it is also a challenge...good luck.

Hi there Glyn...thats why i liked it,and i chose it....because its a different tree....lets see how it will proceed....
