DWARF BLACK OLIVE (bucida spinosa)---indoor,
A delicate tree from the Caribbean that grows into a bonsai shape almost without any assistance. It is not related to the olive-producing trees in the Meditarranean area, and it doesn’t produce olives. On old trees, the bark is sometimes rugged, and the crown often spreads horizontally.
