Olea
europea - OLEACEAE / Olive
1. > Purchased on a holyday trip
in 1998 to Spain by: Rosa Aules, Avgda. Catalunya [cantonada Ma. Cristina] - E-43002 TARRAGONA.
2. > Potted in a
Bonsai-pot in 2000, and after restyling shows the tree in 2001 Because it produces many fine roots that do
not withstand protracted frost, the cold
tolerance of the olive is limited! In our climate I have to keep the Bonsai in a cold greenhouse during
winter at ± 4 to 6°C, as also the leaves bear no lower temperatures. (Still in training) Dims in 2004

Calbás - BIGNONIACEAE
/ Crescentia cujete L. / Calabash tree,
On a holyday trip to
Curacao in 1982 we collected
as a souvenir a "Calbás" from a natural tree. Once at home I opened the
Calbás, not knowing that it was
completely
filled with seeds. I got 100ds of seedlings which I gave all away,
keeping only one

In 2006, this is finally the result
after years of work and care given to the seedling!
