Little olive flowers! That is so cool! I'm with you, i'm not a fan of the taste of olives as well. I remember when you did the last video on this one ... I never went out to check my local Aldi. I'm guessing it is out of season now, but maybe I'll check it this weekend just in case to see if they have any trees. Lots of bold/calculated prunes here. I think you made the right calls for the future of the tree. My only thought would be maybe removing one of the two branches that are growing out at the same junction right above the branch with the flowers. It looks it may be bar-branches. I'm wondering if that will create a bulge or swelling over time. But its still a young tree and you've got plenty of time to make more calls on it! Great work!
Cut it back, the more you cut the more it ramifies. You can even defoliate it in spring if the tree is healthy, olives here in South Africa grow like weeds so we have millions. use clip and grow wiring scars very easily
@dreamingofbonsai I do indeed dave, it was a few months ago they probably won't have anymore but it's worth a shot . I've also heard of Aldi having japanese maple from time to time 👀👀
All good prunes in my opinion, excited to see what the tree does next!
Yes trifurcating is a work( had to look it up) 😆 looks really good. Always enjoy your pruning

Looks great Steve, mine is doing OK no where near the amount of growth yours has. But it's still alive in the basement window
Oh man you have one from Aldi too, Andrew? Dang I really need to take a drive to Aldi and get into the olive tree club! 😅
