Olive Tree

[Shazia]

I bought an olive tree from Woolworths in Feb and planted it back in March, it was a tiny twig of a thing but over the summer its bloomed well, one 'branch' has extended, there are leaves all over, and there might be another branch growing out of the trunk. It's pretty small, I was wondering how long it'd take to start looking like an actual tree (not a huge one mind you, maybe just a meter tall?)

I bought one at a car boot the summer before last. It is about 3 ft high and looks like a standard. I left it out on the patio all winter and it's fine. This summer it had loads of flowers but the olives are tiny.I don't think I will ever get full size ones as the summer just isn't good or long enough.
