So.. This week we have had some weather fronts passing through the region. And olathough they brought me hardly any rain, the wind wat tremendous. I had several pots fly around in my garden, amongst which this olive which spent a few hours laying in a corner without substrate in the pot.
That gave me a GREAT moment to check upon root formation.
Nothing at all. No callus. No whit spot on the bark. Nothing. It was as if I made the cut yesterday.
With a short heatspell around the corner (Talk is 90-100F next week) this is a perfect moment to trigger something I would say.
Anybody any tips on how to make the most out of a period of seriously warm weather before we enter the fall period called "summer" in our northern part of the world?

Nice, did you get any growth on the cutting?

One month ago I did a silly thing and peeked. I had one root. No groeth but still all leaves!
I just acquired a small olive recently and have been trying to read up on them. I saw a thread earlier where, I think it was @Wires_Guy_wires_guywires ? recounted some old olives that had no roots and sat for a couple of years before rooting/showing growth.

Yeah. But they do root eventually. They just need a bit better conditions to root quickly than we can offer in the north with relatively cool summers. I fully expect to find lots of growth in spring and a ball of roots next summer.

They had roots! But they were assumed to be dead, so we spray painted "the corpses", they did nothing for 1-4 years before they suddenly started growing again.

Patience is a virtue. And now.. After loosing virtually all leaves.. The plant started growing a week ago, pushing like nothing happened. Only took 1 1/2 years!
