Making an Olive bonsai
We discuss the two main Olive varieties, and continue to style one of the trees - the Olea europaea (common Olive). It was quite a challenge as the material we selected was not easy to shape into a bonsai. I'm not particularly satisfied with the result yet, and I'll focus on the Sylvestris for future trees as these are just fare more suitable for bonsai styling :-)
Even though you only see Oscar on this film, these videos are team efforts. So we like to thank Bob van Ruitenbeek.
