Olive Tree


Olive Tree

It is being well pollinated by lots of hover flies today. :) A carpet of spent petals is forming under the pot. It would be a shame to sweep them away. Surely one of the very best evergreen plants if you have a sheltered sunny spot.

I will photo the neighbour's one in a while ... it was planted to block the folk opposite looking in on them!

Great! I look forward to seeing it! Of course mine is potted, so restricted.

I think they bought it as a 4ft tall plant, maybe 4 years ago ... it's very tall now ... just about to post photo for you.
