Phillyrea latifolia, commonly known as Green olive tree or Mock privet
Phillyrea is a tree that can be called very resistant to European winters. It can withstand frosts up to about -5 ° C, but we must protect the tree from colder weather, because the chances of root damage increase greatly. Phillyrea appears to be almost completely pest-proof and resistant to stronger winds and solar radiation. The smaller, rigid, dark green leaves have serrated edges and shine beautifully in the sunlight. She loves a bright place where she can get a lot of light. Irrigation may be due several times a day in summer, but requires moderate watering during the winter. The wood is easy to wire in the summer and very quickly retains the desired position we envisioned for it. It grows relatively quickly and the summer is worth pruning several times, as a result of which it develops into a spectacular bonsai in a very short time. If possible, the planting medium should have good drainage. The Akadama blend with Kiryuzuna is optimal for him. In addition, we must not forget about the supply of nutrients during the growing season. Aburakazu organic fertilizer may be one of the most ideal for her.
