Where I used to live there was a old Juniper that me and my son turned into a Bonsai and that was 34 years ago and it was there before that so I don't really know how old it is. And I found out very quickly that I was allergic to Junipers.🤣👧💚💚but I had so much fun doing it . It had five pads. Thank you again so much for sharing your skills.

I wonder if you or anyone else here can provide me 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 6in and i am left with a stump about 3ft high. Could you advise how i can revive this tree? I am in the Midlands, UK and it is March now. Thank you.

    I fell in love with olives. I have a couple of them.
    Their trunks look old even when they're young and the leaves are ideal in size. They can go days without watering even in midsummer. They grow compact leaf pads....
    The only downside is that they grow slowly and need special placement in winter.

    Are these 'bonsai' olive trees miniaturised because you have them in shallow, small pots that stop the olive growing, naturally? What I am curious about, also, is how the tree can be small, but why are the leaves also miniaturised in some of the trees we see here?

      Topiary is the name for trees and bushes that are trimmed into decorative shapes. The movie Edward Scissorhands has scenes of topiary shaping. Not inherently an insult, but topiary is considered less sophisticated than bonsai because it doesn't focus on the line of the trunk and branches so much as the shape of the foliage.
