 Re: Severity of pruning on Olea?
The typical form to train this tree to would be a single leader and remove the suckers as they appear... On maturity it will gain a nice dense canopy...
But having said that, they are a very hardy tree. Can tolerate a good whacking(they send out quite alot of epicormics) and do make a nice hedge if you keep on top of it.
A picture would really help and tell a thousand words on your current situation. |
