Olive / Olea bonsai

Advice

• It is an evergreen tree that grows slowly but steadily. From its fruit, the olives, the prized olive oil is extracted.
• It does not tolerate excess water, as its roots could rot.
• Use a well-drained substrate and you will see that it does not stop growing.
• It likes to be outdoors and needs sun and cold to produce fruit
