Black Olive Flowers (Bucida spinosa)
My favorite trees are tropicals, and especially those that flower. Living in zone 6/7, I have been very lucky to create an environment that my Tropicals seem happy.
Please note the flowers of these Black Olives are very small and some say insignificant, but they are beautful and delicate.
This year my two Black Olives have flowered more than I can remember, and following the leaves are Black Olive seeds, which have been raining down on the lava soil mixture, and I now have many seedlings growing out of the soil. I am going to let them grow until spring, and then I will try to harvest these seedlings.
Please note ther seedlings in the first picture.
May all you forum members have a wonderful holiday and a great growing season in 2008.
