Dwarf Black Olive
(bucida spinosa)

Native to the Caribbean and parts of Florida. Not the edible olive that we all know and love, but does produce a small, black seed-capsule. Flowers are insignificant. An evergreen tree with a smooth trunk when young. Grows normally with a dense full canopy. Ours is trained in the traditional bonsai style with a curved, knobby, lichenous spotted trunk with exposed roots. The lush, dark bluish/gree, leathery leaves can be over 2" long and are clustered at the branch tips, sometimes mixed with 1" long spines found along the branches. Loves the sun and heat. Do not expose to temperatures below 40F. Does great indoors.
