Olive Single Head Bonsai 0.8-1.0m | شجرة زيتون

Olive Single Head Bonsai, Olea Europea or Olive Tree شجرة زيتون is slow-growing, evergreen tree, developing a rounded head, with opposite, leathery, elliptic to lance-shaped, irregularly toothed leaves, to 8cm long, grey-green above, silvery grey-green beneath. Tiny, fragrant, creamy white flowers are borne in axillary panicles, to 5cm long, in summer, followed by edible, spherical to ovoid green fruit (olives), to 4cm long, ripening to black .They survive long droughts, and even when a wildfire has burnt large parts of the tree, the tree is very likely to recover. The olive tree is widely known for its strong tendency for alternate bearing (biennial bearing), which severely affects the fruit yield from year to year. As they age, however, their growth slows. Regardless, they can be very long-living — trees hundreds of years old will still produce fruit, and they can live as long as 1000 years!
