Long Term Commitment

While at the farmer's market I found the most adorable little olive tree.. it is an Arbequina to be exact.  I don't exactly have what you would call a green thumb so caring for her is going to be a challenge.  She can live in pots for years to come which was my first criteria because she will be forced to move a couple of times over the next few years.  She takes two to three years to fruit and then her olives can be used for eating, making oil, etc.  So I brought "Lola" home and the journey has begun.  Lola has been placed in her first pot and I found a window sill with lots of natural light for her to live for now.  Wish us luck!
