Its been a bit of a worry, however the olive tree in our garden has finally broken bud and is looking lush. We went to a lot of trouble to select this tree and had feared that being so far north it might be to wet and get a battering. So despite a rather late start its reassuring to know that it is happy; also being the only plant in our courtyard,reassuring to know we won' be looking at an expensive bundle of twigs.
