Top left and top right: July 2014
Middle right; July 2014, pruned
and shaped.
Bottom right; The olive has
been wired to further enhance
the overall shape.

Let the lower branch grow long, so that it will thicken
as it lengthens. The branch to the right also kept grow-
ing long as the line of the trunk design was growing
to the right.
The photo at top right, facing page, shows the trunk
was getting thicker in a relatively short time.
Some wiring was applied, holding the branch tip in a
vertical position to make the tree grow faster.
In 2013, the leading branches are allowed to grow to
make the trunk in the lower part thicken. They will
be cut off later on.
Top left, is the shape of the tree in July 2014. The up-
per trunk was getting thicker and almost in the good
proportion with the bottom.

Middle right photo shows some pruning has been
done to make the outline more clear to the desired
form.
Bottom photo. Branches are wired and positioned to
further enhance the overall shape. It was quite clear
then the flow of the tree is to the right.
