Hi Mike,

Really like your olives, both of them, I would have sent the fat trunked one to that seminar. Thats my personal favorite.

How do you get the folliage on these things so dense? I have 2 probably European Olives, I´m not sure, cause one has a yellowish/beige trunk, the other one has a more greyish trunk. The enviromental conditions are probable cause of a less dence folliage. Overhere in Europe, outside temps are about 30F, so the trees are in the house right now. Not the best surcomstances for an Olivetree, I quess.

Maybe you could/should write an article on olives for the articlecontest, so everyone can bennefit of your knowlegde.

I can make some photo´s tomorrow to show those bark differences if you want?

Thanks in advance for answering,

Wessel
