bonsai projects with olea silvestris

Dear friends,
i would like to show here some of the projects i've started recently with wild olives collected in my region, none of them are bonsai of quality, nor are they planted on fancy pots, because i have not got the pots yet and they are all in early stages of trainning, but one thing i am certain about, is the huge potencial they have, to become very nice trees, i re-started to get involved in this art of bonsai only at the end of 2009, as such, not a lot can be expected in terms of advancement, and perfection, but with pacience and dedication i am learning bit, by bit, by bit, and this is the result so far...

olea one







olea two







olea three







olea four









olea five






olea six

No comments, no advice, no nothing... ho well...

Hello Ferdy. I'm not seeing any pictures

I think they are wonderful!

The last three pictures, olea six, is just a big sawed off cutting??? My question was going to be "How much root do you get when you dig them?", but I guess that answers the question!

Hi Russell,

I think this is common to do with dug up Olives. See this link:

Hello guys,
Will i loaded them with tinypic program, i dont know why you can not see them?
Russell, fortunatly with olives the rate of success with cutings is very high, mostly if they are ground level cuttings, only plant them is well drained soil, keap moist, in the shade, with a black garbage bag over the top to keep high humidity, and pray...

But as much as possible, if you can collect them with root is a lot safer, regards...
