🫒 Olive Mame Cuttings 🔧

Dec 28, cleaning up large Olive and removing errant multi-trunks. Attempting to hardwood cutting with #8 hormone, pumice/akadama/coco fines, covered and on a heat map. Olives like acidic soil, more pumice than other—added coco coir.

Placed one on/near the garage furnace—and it popped buds. Too early to see any roots. Heat mat cuttings look good, but will move them to the furnace for a few weeks.

Encouraged to make a few more olive fatty cuttings.

  • Should I prune to 1 apex & first branch and remove all other growth? Or a mame broom?

  • Should I carve or reduce the chop closer to the remaining branches?

  • Let everything grow long and healthy.
