去年の秋に買ったオリーブ苗に蕾がたくさん着いています。右は、自家結実性がある品種ということで買いたいと思っていた念願のピクアル、左は同じ鉢に植えられていたシプレッシーノ。
I bought these olive plants in autumn last year. They were cuttings, planted in the same small pot. They spent the winter on the balcony, where they are now. In spite of the size of the trees, they have lots of flower buds already.
This is Picual, a self-fertile variety that I had wanted for some time before I accidentally saw this last year.
左のシプレッシーノは根元の短い枝以外は主幹だけの棒状。その主幹に直接蕾が出ています。
