>>656991... but said olive cuttings are still very flexible, is there any hope they eventually will decide to grow roots? I mean it's been 3 months now.
I also could take new olive cuttings from trees a guy I know grows in his garden around here (I'm at 50°N - he usually builds a large wood/fleece contraption around them, but this season is the first time they've gone largely unprotected into the new year, even carrying true black olives - the ones you buy in the mall are 99% of the time green ones coloured with iron gluconate - right now, pic related). Maybe it's an extra frost hardy cultivar (survived the -16°C in Feb 2012) which would make it even more interesting, AFAIK he got them gifted from continental Spain back in 2006, and they seem to have some slight freezes over there every now and then too
