Good day all. I'm new to bonsai and sourced two wild olive trees in the area I live. They growing well after transferring them 2 months ago. How old can this trees be and can they be made into good bonsai?

I like the trunks and the small leaves.
Very good. I have no experience with Olives at all, but I guess yes, they can be trained to become bonsai.

Nice find. Hard to tell from the pcitures. Olive typically are very well-suited for bonsai. These trunks look ok as startmaterial.

I would venture a guess and say they probably are a few decades.

There's 2 ways you can turn this into bonsai , first of all you can study loads and gain the necessary knowledge to do it yourself or you could give them to me and I'll do it hahahaha lol just kidding I really like that material tho ;)
