Found this wild olive in nursery today.think it's worth it for bonsai ? The leave size is very n8ce and got a nice base with good taper. The aerial roots I believe can be cut to better show the base. It has those growths on trunk and branches that can be peeled off, not sure if to keep them or not. My only concern is the branches as there aren't many at the lower level I'd be cutting to.
Do u think this will make a good bonsai ?

That olive has a bacterial disease called Tuberculosis and is it wide spread. Those growths are tumors. I won' t buy it, eradication is difficult and you are going to infect other olives around.

Thanks, spot on, this is a deal breaker for me as I have many olives...
