Has been in training for many years, but recently wired and shaped. The olive tree is surely the richest gift of Heaven. By nature, trees with big trunks have always given an impression of age and with the timeless history of the Olive, the trees composition adds to an already impressive bonsai. The Olive tree has always been regarded as a symbol of life and peace. There is a majestic beauty in this small tree that the viewer can admire for hours. The resilient ability of the Olive is also one of the many reasons why I love this species of plant. The tree is believed to live beyond 2000 years. The Olives from the Garden of Gethsemane are actually still alive today. This tree in particular is a 40 year old small leaf Olive (olea europaea) tree that is gorgeous and in excellent condition. While creating this piece we decided to make both the canopy and the dramatic thick old trunk the center point of the composition. This tree was collected many 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. To fine tune the canopy a bit further t. He tree was re-wired and shaped and all that is needed to get the perfect canopy is to allow the branches to grow out and continue developing the tertiary branches. Complementing the massive old trunk as well as the entire composition is an old shallow rectangular Yixing glazed blue ceramic bonsai pot. (12x 8 x2.5).
