I was given an Olive Twist tree and immediately wondered if I could make it into a Bonsai. This is all new to me. Your three video clips were VERY helpful. You are a thorough and easy-to-learn-from teacher! I an eager to see how this tree is doing.
Anyone asking for an update on his trees recently, just know that sometime around 2013, he passed away. This was confirmed by his spouse on social media.
Very informative Thank you. I just bought a lovely pine for £5 in the bargain bin at the garden centre. Lovely knobbly thick trunk so I'll give it a go.
which is the best period of the year to do this with the roots? ive got an olive tree and i want to make bonsai from it. can i cut the roots and put the plant into a bonsai pot at summertime?thanks
why didnt you wire it? It was really asking for it.. that tree has so much potential and the pruning that you did really helped it, but a little wiring would make it look wonderfull at this age
He said he wired it and that it needs to be wired to keep it from falling over. See at 4:04 I wish he had shown himself doing it as I was unable to see the wires. RIP bonsai student.
I have an olive tree, like yours. Taller, but smaller trunk in diameter. Unfortunately, b/c I was gone, it had scale infestation, which made all the leaves die & fall. Removed them a week ago, and any left over dead leaves and branches. Hope it survives... Heading into summer, and not one leaf :( Oh, well, we'll see what happens. So if anyone has one, keep a look out for scale pests.
@@funlovincop yeah but here a lot of feeders are removed, it would take a few years for this tree to recover and by then you would probably give up on it
Thank for taking the time to share your expertise. I am now in the process of creating my first bonsai with an olive tree.

I really appreciate your explanation and decision making process of what branches to keep or cut during the pruning process.
Thanks for making these episodes. I have a similar olive and this is very helpful. Thanks again!

:(
so sorry...young man...very helpful video.
How sad RIP 😔
Would love to see an update on this little tree!
Great specimen with so many possible futures.
If there wasn't a bend in the main trunk I could see it being repotted at an angle.
so and suddenly i decided to buy an olive tree .. thank you for the idear !
Hi there... The Olives are very popular here in South Africa as Bonsai. Specifically the sub species Afrikana. This was quite insparational thanks.
very good video, could you make a clip showing all your bonsai plants you must have a good collection
Does winter stand out?
your Video has inspired me to have a go thank you :)

I liked the last shallow pot the best!! ;-)
we would like to have an update on this nice olive bonsai
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Hey can we get an update on how your olive tree went? I bought one myself and want to bonsai. Thanks!
I love this I think I will try one
how old is the tree thank you.
very good job good exposition
Would have like to have seen how you wired the plant into the pot.

You have explained about the roots but how do you make the branches like this ..please tell me
Very nice work! Will you wire it?
any update from this olive tree?

Joel Filipe Because he was a novice. RIP
I myself don’t like wiring, maybe he doesn’t want to. I like clip and grow methods
More. Maybe that’s what he was going for? Just my opinion
He said he wired it and that it needs to be wired to keep it from falling over. See at 4:04 I wish he had shown himself doing it as I was unable to see the wires. RIP bonsai student.
It's 2019 now ... Do you have an update?
I know your comment it 2 months old, but just letting you know, he passed away sometime 2013 I believe.
@@Kjbrunzo Thank you. May he rest in peace hopefully among some beautiful trees.
You mentioned that you wired it - where was it wired?
Yes, I have the same question?
KTB~黋憻建築~分享~超讚
Can it be trimmed at every time of the year or is there a specific time ??
new update to your olive bonsai?
What's the best location for olive bonsai. I live in Palmdale, Ca. Thank you!!!

very good video
any updates on the olive?
So my question is… this was 10 years ago, how is it now??

I hope that i have one of this olive tree
what soil have you used please ?
You need a table my friend 😂
How did this man pass away?
what about watering?
Any updates on this tree?😂 11years have passed
...😌congestion root
Might as well use chop saw or table saw!
update ? :)
Note goood that soil!!!
why?
CÂY lINH SAM
Still looks round
That's just a plant!
Hand under saw ,bad idea.
So no updates. U gave up😂
USE A CHOPSTICK!!
Such bad techniques shown here, even though unfortunately the guy passed away.
@@funlovincop cutting pieces like that off the root ball is inadvisable, for one thing
Also, that soil being used is terrible, bonsai soil should have little to no organic material, unless it's always 90+ degrees in your climate
@@outsiderdf oh ok, I thought that if the tree had enough feeder roots, it was a good idea to remove the thick tap roots
@@funlovincop yeah but here a lot of feeders are removed, it would take a few years for this tree to recover and by then you would probably give up on it
