Believe it or not Roy. My modest olive stays out in whatever comes. Maybe there are variations in type but its withstood -4C several times and -6C once.

You seem to have a substantial trunk in there Roy. Its difficult to see the leaves. I suppose that there's no doubt about it being an olive.

Healthy looking material Roy. Have you got a design in mind yet?

| Hi Don, i dont have a design in mind yet as i cant bring myself to reduce it yet with it looking so nice as it is. All thoughts & suggestions welcome regarding reduction into Bonsai style. BTW the lable on the tree reads Olea Europaea.
