Olive
We bought a small olive plant quite early in the new year. Kept it
indoors. (can get to -5C or even -10C here) Then shoved it outside for the summer in between slightly larger plants. Then brought it back in a few weeks ago. It's still a small bush (35cm) but the problem is this, I hadn't expected it to actually DO anything apart from becoming a slightly bigger, more filled-out bush. Suddenly, last week, its got, well... what looks like tiny fruit-like buds on flowers-stalk type growths. Now what? |

BTW, if you can find a spot in your garden that has soil which does not get waterlogged in winter, olives will survive the low temperatures that you describe very well. From here on just keep the olives growing. |
