Thank you very much for this slower and more methodical explanation of how and why you chose which branches to keep and which to cut. That small olive is probably the only type of tree for us beginners to work on and acquire.! It looks great. I can’t wait to see the update of that little olive! Do you think a Russian olive can be made into a credible bonsai? Does it have the same growth habits as a regular olive? Russian olives can survive our harsh Canadian winters whereas an olive will have to be kept indoors. Thanks.

Thank you for this video. I wonder if you or anyone else here can provide a new starter to Bonsai with some advice; my neighbors dug up and threw in the skip their 20 year old olive from their garden a few days back. I took it out of the skip and planted it in a pot. The trunk diameter is about 5in and i am left with a stump about 3ft high. Could you advise how i can revive this tree? I am in the Uk and it is March now

Hi Jason, thanks for the video, it is very informative. I just have an inquiry about olive trees, How many months should I leave the wires if I place wires on the branches? Also, can I remove the suckers from the base to make new trees? Thanks a lot in advance. :)

Hello! I have done videos on how to root olive cuttings and how to turn them into a small bonsai... but collecting larger olives is a big project... have you found an olive tree growing somewhere that you want to take? The first thing would be to get permission from the land owner or local authority.

@@TheAlvies Wow it sounds like a great project I wish I were nearby to help! Where are you based? If you're northern hemisphere then it's a good time now to dig it up, while the ground is cool but not yet freezing. This guy "Mediterranean Bonsai" has done a lot of collecting of yamadori olives and other trees. See kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ar9ml5Vl0MnNaH0.html --hope that helps.

Hi! The Olives do great in our area. (Southern California) so we don't have to do too much other than watering and fertilizing. It helps that our climate is ideal so they are always shooting out new growth.

I have an olive "stump" with 5 trunks. Wish I could get more but most available in the US have trunks less than a quarter inch thick. Any large trees are very expensive. Envy the European bonsai artists.

Looking for more about the tree itself, not technical “how to wire”. I clicked on this video to learn more about how olives grow, seasonal information, why certain techniques are used. Beautiful tree, but looking for more substance, there are plenty of vague wiring demos to watch.

Делать из оливы старый дуб с опущенными ветками это уже перебор , олива вообще не подходит для бонсай , она и так хорошо смотрится если у неё толстый ствол , получается как старая олива .
