          Black olives that you buy in this country are dyed. So no wonder you don't like them Nick.

            Olives in this country, unless you go to a good deli, are over salted, drowning in brine and coloured artificially - they are vile but Greek olives are lovely.

                              Here's a picture of before and after! Well actually they're both after as before they were six foot tall but really whippy!

                              The 'stick' on the left is the later one, 'pruned' after the one on the right came to life!!! The amount of leaf put on by the rhs one was all last summer's growth. They've been outside all winter, but slightly sheltered.

                              I've just checked and mine have not started growing again yet either.

                                Hi SBP,
                                Yipes! The one on the left of your picture looks a bit drastic, but I've just noticed that there are a few tiny new leaves growing where I have cut some dead-looking skinny branches off(see close up pic. attached). Some of the older leaves are dropping off mine but I think it's probably that it needs to go back outside now so I'm hardening it off now.I still haven't risked mine outdoors over winter because they don't mind so much being cold as being too wet & with the rain we get it would probably have drowned!
