We used to have a Russian olive tree. The springtime was always filled with the sweet scent of the blossoms and it was a home to many birds especially families of chickadees. But winter took it toll on our old tree one too many times (split limbs, ruined trunk) and we had to have it removed. But now we have this new olive tree and we are so excited. It was delivered exactly when promised. The tree was in great shape, healthy and strong. We have planted in a large patio pot, hoping it will thrive. So far, so good. If it outgrows its pot we will plant it into the ground. We look forward to next spring, hoping we will have sweet blossoms again.
