Maybe Paul bought it already. LOL

Believe me, you did not miss anything. It is a $35.00 approx 1/4" diameter stick of an olive.

Dario is bored perhaps? On the realistic end I would like to get one ready for training - any source suggestions

Please check who started the thread.

Olive grows so fast, you can get a descent tree from Lowe's and chop. You will have a workable stock next year. For you, I'll try to post an update pic on 2 of my Lowe's olive this weekend. Both were purchased just a few months back.

When you mean source are you referring to information or actually purchasing one? I don't know if you would be interested in this. However, as of a couple weeks ago, New England Bonsai had a pretty powerful specimen for sale. It looks like the only thing that was done, was to give some very basic structure to the branches. If I remember correctly, it has about a 5 inch base and is only maybe 11 inches tall. A very old looking tree.

I don't think it is on their site. However, if you email or call, you can probably get a picture and some info on it.
