CARE INFORMATION
Black Olive (Bucida spp.) hard to shape, but does form basic foliage pads by itself; horizontal branches are sent out spoke-like from distinct places on the trunk (like some pines); it is recommended to pinch off new shoots just a few at a time for the sake of the tree's health; likes a lot of water; not a true olive.
