Above and below, June 2011. The lowest branch is allowed to grow long and thicken.

Some wiring was applied,
holding the branch tip in a
vertical position to make the
tree grow faster.
Further cutting and carving was done to the trunk,
so that the line of the shape was clear that the trunk
would go to the right side towards the branch that
would be the new apex. The branch was raised up
to create a new line of the trunk. Our job now is to
thicken the new upright branch, so that it will be in a
good proportion with the trunk thickness at the base.
The plant grew vigorously in my garden. The high hu-
midity in Jakarta is quite suitable for the requirements
of black olives.
