Olea europaea subsp. africana, also known as the African Wild Olive is evergreen and indigenous to various regions in Africa. One of the key characteristics that make the African wild olive suitable for bonsai is its small leaf size which creates a sense of proportion and balance in the miniature tree. The Wild Olive’s bark develops interesting texture and coloration as it ages. Use techniques like pinching, pruning, carving and wiring to shape the branches and create foliage pads that mimic the appearance of mature olive trees. African Wild Olive bonsai require plenty of sunlight and need frequent fertilising. Regularly inspect your bonsai for pests and diseases, and take appropriate measures if you notice any issues.
