The olive tree is surely the richest gift of Heaven. Those that know me know that I have a passion for Bonsai and along with bonsai I also have a passion for collecting trees from the wild. Living here in Southern California and only minutes away from where old California Juniper grow wild is in deed a blessing and a unique place to live to feed that passion. Nevertheless, I have found that not all masterpiece material is confined to the Mojave Desert or the Tehachapi Mountains. Some trees like this Old Twin Trunk Olive can actually be found growing in rural areas if one looks and works hard enough to find them. In this case, this Olive was found growing in an old Southern California community of Olive groves (Santa Clarita). The tree is an. Olive that is gorgeous and in excellent condition. It was collected several years ago and after being collected it was allowed to recuperate and grow out for a few years. The tree was then styled and re-worked several times over to bring it to its present shape. While creating this piece we decided to make the two trunks the center point of the composition although the base is also very dramatic. The only thing that is needed to complete this tree is to allow the branches and canopy to continue to fill out and acquire that beautiful round shape and maybe if the new owner is adventurous enough a bit of carving in the trunk area. We also decided to leave the beginning of a small tree that is just developing its shape at the bottom of the tallest trees base. The tree can be developed to help show the striking and massive size of the two other trees or be completely removed. The decision will be left up to you. Complementing the massive old trunk as well as the entire composition is a rectangular unglazed ceramic Japanese bonsai pot. On a side note. Ive noticed that not too many sellers talk or write about things that should be done after you receive your tree so I will give you my two cents worth. When you receive your tree unpack it carefully. Cut the tape and plastic wrap from the pot and the branches if applicable. Secondly give the tree a good watering and then put the tree in a partially shaded spot for a few days to allow it to adjust. After several days of adjustment your new bonsai can be reintroduced to bright sun. Good luck and if you have any questions feel free to fire off a message.
