Re: [nafex] Potted Arbequina Olive

I bought 50 'Arbequina' olives from Hartmann's Plant Company in Michigan in 2015. They offer plants at both retail and wholesale prices.
https://hartmannsplantcompany.com

I sold them at the Friends School Plant Sale in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Not having a good place to keep one for the winter, I sold them all.

I have not heard any feedback from customers, nor any requests to bring them back.

These posts have me thinking we should offer them again.

Hartmann's only offered 'Arbequina' when we ordered. Today I see they have added 'Taggiasca', which is sold out at this time.

I'm fairly certain they are
imported from Somewhere much warmer.

But supposedly some olives (arbequina among
them) do relatively well in
pots.
