Since was thinking lot about creating this site and my most beautiful bonsai are indeed birthday gifts and this is my latest to the edition. I Think this tree need a full Blogspot since I wi l not sell it, and I will try to use this as a mother tree to take cuttings etc.
Choose Wich Bonsai I would Buy
So I got a gift card to buy a Bonsai at a bonsai shop and I have bin researching olive trees a lot this year I try to at least research 1 species a year more indepth. I experiment with also gifted olive bonsai which are the normal olive europea. And I did have a hard time to keep them alive since my garden is a little bit on the more humid side. Living in the Netherlands. And we also have a pool with koi carper’s. Since I have bin testing some things and I will later also post about this. Im sure I can keep this new edition to my bonsaitreasure trees alive and well thriving. I will try to make cuttings etc.
2 Olive spiecies on my wish List
In my research I found out that there mostlikely 2 more olive species I would love to have for sure those are: olea oleaster which is my FAVORITE and is still on my wish list. Since I could not find a place to get this one in the Netherlands but did find the other olive species I love to have and try.
Taking cuttings and creating more light for now next year bigger updates
My first Video of my not yet bonsai garden its raw and not edited and sound is bad and it is by no means a bonsaigarden yet
So the The Olea europaea sylvestris was an easy pick. I bought this mainly for those Tiny leaves. I think its the most expensive tree I bought until now reasons for it I did not find them cheaper anywhere also it was a Gift and well it was therefore better to use the card and remember it by those who gifted the tree. Als I like the pot and I do not have many real bonsai pots yet since well the tree comes first for now since I can try to get more trees for sort of free.
