Iris I had no idea there was a dwarf Olive. It is
labeled "Olea europea" but it says the mature height
is 24-48". I was just assuming the label was wrong and
it meant 24-48'. The foliage doesn't look very
"dwarfish" the longest leaf is 3". How long is the
foliage of the dwarf Olive? Thanks for the info.

eventually cut it back.

Do you have a standard Olea europaea or a dwarf
cultivar like "Little Ollie?"
From my experience with "Little Ollie," it buds back
very readily. The trouble
is, this cultivar is patented, so, like Ficus
'TooLittle,' it is usually sold
with a wink instead of a label.
