Shohin Olive is a classic Mediterranean bonsai species known for its ancient‑looking bark, small leathery leaves, and ability to develop powerful character even at small sizes. It backbuds well on old wood, tolerates heavy pruning, and produces refined ramification with consistent training. Excellent for expressive, long‑lived Shohin compositions.

Olea europaea

Sun Requirements Requires full sun for compact growth, small leaves, and strong backbudding. Thrives in hot, bright conditions ideal for Shohin refinement.
Watering & Salt Tolerance Low to moderate water needs; prefers to dry slightly between waterings. High salt tolerance, making it well suited for coastal environments like Indialantic.
Fertilizer Feed with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Olives respond well to steady, moderate feeding rather than heavy nitrogen.
