Gosh...I'm so sorry to hear about your back problems. All the best during your surgery and for a speedy recovery.
Your Olive tree is *awesome*!!! Wow. All the new growth coming out is a very good sign. I'm really looking forward to following it's progression. I hope someday to have an olive tree!
My sincere apologies! It seems my previous post (addressed to Dean aka:Dragon)somehow got posted on your thread bbf. I'm not sure how it happened yet, there are times when I'm on the computer too late at night. I am so sorry for my *blooper*
Great looking Olive you have there. Sorry I can't help with identification.
