Hi, Everybody,

I have two olive plants in 10-litres (2 and a half gal)
containers.

I put 1-metre (1 yard) long stakes - one in the centre,
and three around the edge, tied at the top, making a
tripod. Plus twine loosely holding the branches
inward.

The plants themselves are a bit taller than 2 feet
right now.

So how big should I let them get before re-potting? I
figure that the next step will be 20-litre (5 gal)
containers. Any idea on their ultimate size and
comfortable container capacity? Having proper ground
space is a few years away, but I would like to keep
them going until then.

BTW, these olives were actually bought on impulse. I
had had a conflict with a person, and thought that it
would be classy to *literally* send them an olive
branch. It worked (at least partially.)
