The Story of an Olive Bonsai…so far!! #bonsai #bonsaitree #yamadori
In this brief video, the speaker recounts the origin and journey of a wild olive bonsai that was originally collected in Croatia by Maria Hadžić. He first encountered the tree during a 2019 carving demonstration in Lubreg, Croatia, and was later gifted the olive at a trophy ceremony in Belgium the following year. The bonsai features an abstract design paired with an equally abstract pot, creating a distinctive appearance. Over the past five years the tree has been cultivated in the speaker’s garden, where it has thrived and remains in good health.
