    Go Shohin! Looks like that thick branch is coming out of the crotch of the bend in the trunk. Nice trees!

    They sell a lot of olives at the garden stores close to me but they are normally tall skinny messy things. I planted the biggest one I have in a giant 10 gallon pot to hope for some thickening but I have been really against any pruning for now. I think I might just have to let it grow wild for a long time to get the big thick trunk on it first. I just love the style some of the Aussie bonsai guys get with the short sumo look that makes them look like ancient mediterranean specimens I just can never find anything like that

    I have an Arbequina Olive tree in a 15-gallon pot that has grown about 6' tall over the years. If you want a thicker trunk, plant it in a big pot and don't prune it for a few years. It will grow into a crazy wild mess, but by leaving all the branches it will thicken quicker than if you were to prune it. When the trunk looks like the size you are after, THEN prune it into a Bonsai. Mines almost ready for the chop...

    Hey, great video!! I was wondering - i have some olive trees that i cur to make bonsai, but they are flowering all over de place and i have no idea if branches are going to grow again from the places where they are flowering (which is from every leaf) or should i cut the flowers? What can i do so that i get the best result this year for my tree? Thank you!!

    I'm very curious - how do you know a branch would definitely "grow here" (in the blank middle area)? P.s.-your work is beautiful, regardless of whether is is shohin or not.

    Olive is a type of tree that buds from the cambium rather than from preset positions of dormant buds(such as maples). The budding from cambium is typically triggered by sunlight hitting the area which basically tells the tree that since sunlight is hitting there, it has potential for photosynthesis if it were to grow leaves there, this coupled with such a drastic reduction in the foliage which will trigger back budding in general makes it very likely for a bud to develop in that location, though technically not 100% guranteed.

    I was gifted an olive tree this year, regular flower store tree. I find the tree to large with only foligae at the top. Is it ok to trunkchop the tree without any branches or leaves under it?
