I just picked up an Olea Europea (Little Ollie) pre-bonsai. I want to grow the gnarled, irregular, thick trunk that Olives are famous for. Being still new to the art of Bonsai I've been doing a lot of research and would like to verify my plans with you.
It is in a 1 gallon nursery pot and I have it sitting on my deck, outside. As the weather gets cooler (I'm in New York) I will bring it inside the house and keep it near a window.
The plan is to trim the roots and repot it next spring, into a 2 gallon pot. Let it grow out and then trim it back the following spring. Just keep growing and trimming until the trunk reaches a certain thickness.
I know this is very basic. Maybe someone can help me with a more specific plan. If you could, I would really appreciate it.
