Dear friends in Cape Town ! This month a nursery in Grabouw is having its winter sale, and olive trees in 20Liter containers can be had for R160 or R190 depending on the variety. There are Olea KALAMATA, MISSION AND LECCINO ...I cannot afford to make the minimum order (R 1000) so anyone wanting to order a tree, or three, please contact me ASAP... they can deliver to me in Goodwood and I can deliver to you in my trailer... in my experience olives aren't so easy to get to root, and I've given up on cloning until I have better equipment.
Diane, sure hope yours is better looking. ... please send a pic .... and tell me about your watering regimen.... pretty please, I was too embarrassed to lift the plastic cover because underneath all the twigs are bare...... this is a shade-cloth cover tied to a wire frame, its really hot in the alley at midday, and a large plastic tray filled with sand vermi-compost four to one, and the cuttings spiked into it, and covered with clear plastic sheeting, died tight to keep the moisture in.... monitored regularly to make sure the soil is never dry. maybe my system is just too wet altogether ?
