Dwf Blk Olive are tropical in every sense of the word...
love as much light as you can give them and don't like the temps to fall below 50. They love moist fast draining soil. When working the roots, like most tropicals , the low temps need to be 70 +...feeding similiar to other tropicals, more frequent during warmer periods. they have great growth pattern for zig zag movement. I've seen some excellent specimens. Provide the environment and they respond well. By the by.... Happy Birthday...

Bucida spinosa?
Are we talking about Busida spinosa?
I just came into possession of one the beginning of the month. I was doing some good surfing on it today. Lots of stuff out there on it. This is my study material. I aint kilt it yet. That is a good sign. Thanks Tom for your insight. Paul

Good question Paul..
I was referring to the dwarf black olive(bahama black olive), bucida bucera..(the Mary Madison tree you posted) You appear to have the standard bucida spinosa with leaves reduced somewhat..this tree acclimates better to lower light conditions There is a dwarf bucida spinosa with leaves similiar to bucida bucera. Here's a link to BCI's site... http://www.bonsai-bci.com/species/bucida.html hope this clears up my ramblings.. It has been ten years or so since i have worked on any. I lost mine in Tn. :0(> ...toooo coooldd. We heated with wood, so dips into the 40's and even the 30's was common. I had one brought to me last fall..dying back slowly. It had been a demonstration tree at a club meeting and the roots had been worked, prunned and rearranged into a smaller container. The tree was kept in a small greenhouse on the ground and the lows were in the upper 40's. This environment was fine for his other tropicals but NOT for a black olive whiich had just been worked like this tree had been...sad to report..it died. Propagation mats which will keep the roots above 60-70 is a plus for this species..right next to your buttonwoods and tamarinds...
