Keeping leaves small on olive
Hi everyone.
A couple of months ago, start of winter here, I bought a "bonsai starter" Olive tree. It's only about 2-3 inches tall, basically these are about 1-2yr old woody seedlings, that have yet to be grown up, but have been trained to get thicker trunks, esp bases. Anyway Now it's almost the end of winter, and I have noticed that the leaves are starting to get larger, some of them have doubled in size. So my question/s is: 1) Would this plant have been defoliated (recommended early summer here) and the leaves I saw when I bought it the new growth since? 2) Was there another method they used to keep the leaves small? No one around here seems to know much about olives here It's not too much of a concern right now as the tree will be trained for a few years yet, but just being curious. Cheers everyone Andrew.
