Take it you don't mean the obvious "homo"?

Like it, bet it looks pretty nice and lifey in summer too.
Lattice will be nice when it grows up.
Love lots of wood and green.

You think of slapping some small but long planters together out of some wood at the edge of your grass there or elsewhere? Old pallets work great if ye are bothered or like that sort of thing. I have on the balcony, live in an apartment no garden which sucks, so I could plant it up a bit.

I bought an olive tree for the balcony, was great in the summer, but then duh, forgot about winter, so I have to keep it indoors.. what an idiot, it's gone all mental on me. What was I thinking <doh>

I planted my olive tree in the garden and it is doing well in the warm south east
I get loads of olives each year but none have ripened this tear, bad year for my fig tree as well

I got 2 Olives this year <laugh>

The summers here in Finland are pretty good, I am up 5 floors as well.

what a fookin idiot, I completely forget it gets minus -10 or more even as far south as Helsinki. Dope<doh>
I don't think it likes anything below +10c and the air gets uber dry here in winter, so dry it sucks the moisture from your skin.

I have to spray the tree now every day until next summer. Ugh
 
Forgot your in Finland
I have a Magnolia that flowered four times between March and September this year
Climate has gone bonkers

Why don't you buy a little humidifier and stand it on the other side of the room? You could pick one up over here for about 20 or 30 quid that would do the job. Not sure of the prices where you're like.

Magnolia flowing react to local weather not climate

You're well south so you're more exposed to the southern warmth coming from France and even from Africa up through Spain and France. Also depends on cloudiness I guess

Central England is more stable and the north, well we know they get **** and shine sometimes in equal measures :D
 
For 6 olives?
It's not necessarily about what you get from the crop, it's the enjoyment of looking after it all year round more than anything and if he's having to spray it down every day, I'd just plug in the humidifier and let that do the work.
