Ray says he's had it for several years and that it was given to him as an unusual olive. I'm suspicious that it's an olive but what do I know?! Here's a closer pic of the leaf. It's a bit myrtle like but the overall growth is nothing like a myrtle. http://i57.tinypic.com/25qrm2t.jpg -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

David The first is very similar, both in the leaf and the growth habit. The second is alike in the leaf shape but ours have more glossy leaves. Thanks so much, David. I'll see what Ray thinks tomorrow. He's drifting off to Nod right now! As often happens, I think someone has been abroad on holiday and brought him back a plant or some cuttings. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

David Ray agrees it's definitely the first pic which seems to be an Arbequina olive, so at least we can put a name to it. As you say, it's now used mainly as rootstock but its history is intriguing as it appears to have been introduced to Europe a very long time ago, in the 17th century. Very many thanks, David. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |
