Default Olive tree varieties.

I have an olive tree, in a pot, kept fairly small, which I grew from a
seed bought from T&M 40 years ago. I had never seen an olive tree at
that time. I grew it as a bonsai for 20 years.
Having seen lots since, I realise that mine is different in that it
has dark green shiny leaves, not the dull paler green leaves of common
olives. It IS and olive though, in leaf and habit, but has never
flowered because I always cut it back'
Is there an expert among our readers who can say what mine might be?
