Hi Guys,
i just bought from a local garden store an olive tree ( actually an air layered tree ) it came with terrible soil mix so I repotted it.
When i took it out of the pot i saw that the root system is not well developed yet and there is a big chump of what used to be a branch
so I used a saw to cut this chump and I pruned the big big roots and was left with the fine roots.
the soil i used is gardening soil with crushed gravel. put it in the shade for a day and them moved it to a half and half environment
now to the point - the tree looks like it didn't took it so well and the new growth looks like its getting tired ( the leafs are facing down and not up )
thank you in advance

Picures? Any questions?
Olives need sun and heat. Keep the roots on the dry side for it to regrow.
