Hardy Olive Tree 'Pom-Pom Cloud Bonsai' 1.4m Tall

Product Description

Hardy Olive Tree Pom-Pom Cloud Bonsai 1.4m Tall We stumbled across these unusual cloud-pruned or pom-pom topiary Olive trees on a buying trip to a small grower & persuaded him to let us have a few to offer our customers. He usually pots them up into much bigger pots, grows them on into huge specimens, & then sells them for hundreds of pounds
- so maybe the glass of wine at lunch persuaded him! Known as ' Niwaki', cloud pruning is a Japanese method of training trees & shrubs into shapes resembling clouds & our grower has done the hard work so you don't have to
- selecting the stronger side branches & carefully pruning them into shape. You can let your imagination take over now, & let them grow as big or little as you wish. Were more than happy to pass this amazing opportunity onto you & give you the change to grow one of these splendid topiary specimens. Perfect as centrepiece specimens in big pots, or in hot, sunny spots of the garden, they are very hardy & easy-care. Prune to shape 3-4 times a year with secateurs or shears, feed with specialist olive feed, & enjoy for years & years. You are unlikely to get any olive fruit by keeping them as cloud-pruned specimens, but then theyre such an outstanding evergreen tree anyway that its not a problem! Stocks are very limited, & we may not have any more in future seasons, so order now to avoid disappointment. Supplied as a pom-pom standard olive tree 1.2-1.4m tall (including the pot), min 5 'clouds', for planting out. Supplied in 20cm nursery pot. Specifications Ideal for: Mediterranean theme, instant impact, patio pots, doorways Position: Full Sun Height/ Spread: 1.75m x 0.75m Hardiness: Hardy to -8C Supplied as: a 1.4m tall (including pot), cloud-pruned tree Care When potting on or planting in a container, use a loam-based compost such as John Innes No 3 with the addition of about 20% grit to help with drainage. If planting in the garden, add grit to the planting hole to improve drainage. Pot grown plants should be transferred to a slightly larger pot each spring. Olive Trees are hardy but they benefit from winter protection. Small potted plants can be moved inside, while outside plants can be bubble-wrapped around the pot & fleece used to protect the canopy. Although drought tolerant, pot-grown olives must be watered regularly & not be allowed to dry out. Trim up to 4 times a year with secateurs or shears in early or late summer to keep specimens in shape. Remove suckers & any unwanted growth at the same time. Contents 1 x Pruned Plant back to top
