 Black Olive Bonsai Tree August 4, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Nice little black olive bonsai with developing nebari It came wired into its glazed pot in fast-draining soil mix. Since was early southwest US summer when it arrived, the tree went outside immediately, in a shady spot. Later on it went into the sun, where is is producing flowers now. So long as it is watered daily, it's a healthy, slow growing little tree. Come fall, it will be brought inside with another black olive as these don't like temperatures below 50 degrees. These trees are so easy to care for and do so well in this climate that I highly recommend them for anybody in the southern part of the USA. Black olives, black pines and a couple of Chinese elms are the only bonsai I have that thrive in the full blast of mid-New Mexico sun.
Beautiful little olive bonsai June 28, 2006

June 28, 2006: Lovely bonsai, extremely well packaged - arrived in perfect condition (beware the oodles of styrofoam pieces left after unpacking! :-)) My olive tree was actually blooming when it arrived last week, and has a nice, delicate fragrance. Pot doesn't come with a saucer, so be sure to put a dish underneath before watering. More compact that the tree pictured (but more typically bonsai shaped), I am quite happy with my purchase. I still prefer to grow, shape and pot my own bonsai, but this little olive (which I can't find in my area other than ordering here) was a nice addition to my bonsai collection. Recommended!
Update 1-23-07:
Little black olive bonsai still looks fantastic. It has had no health problems, and has bloomed several times since purchased(small, pale green flowers, followed by tiny ornamental fruit that falls off shortly thereafter, like an ornamental crabapple). Needs watering every two-three days in summer, every three-four days in winter. Mine sits in a floor-to-ceiling window in a highrise building receiving full sunlight most of the day, and constant air from an air vent above the window. Hasn't grown much (I experienced one burst of new leaves, which promptly died when I left on vacation and it went without water for almost a week). So, I haven't needed to trim it yet. Still recommended!

I had a question and emailed the folks at brussels. My auto signature includes my phone number. I was amazed (and impressed) that I did not get simply a cursory reply but an actual phone call answering my question in detail! This is a lovely specimen, as other reviews have noted, the amazon picture does not do the product justice. Well packaged and quickly shipped A+++

Beautifully pruned tree. Picture does not do the plant justice. Care was taken in shipping the item. Shipping was quick. Instructions are included. I will happily order from Brussel's again.
