Tussiemussie

This was a present, no olives yet, apparently it takes many years for them to fruit and then they can be erratic, but the light foliage is quite attractive..

This was one of my wants. Finally bought one unfortunately it wasn't one of the 100yr old types that cost several £100's. Bought 07.

We have four olive trees growing in pots. They like a sheltered spot away from frost and cold winds, with full sun and occasional water. They are given slow release fertiliser during the growing season and lightly clipped to keep a good shape.
