There is a beautiful flowering olive at Smith, from which I took a cutting during senior year. The cutting lived indoors for two years or so, but didn't make it. I've always wanted to grow one in the garden, and I figure Seattle's climate may afford me the privilege.
So I'd love to hear from some seasoned Pacific Northwest gardeners - do you have or have you had a flowering olive in your garden? If so, does it flower annually? What type of location did you choose (full or partial sun? partial shade? sheltered?)? Do you do anything special for pruning or for winter care?
I found one answer in University of Washington's Gardening Answers Knowledgebase:

...but would love additional information!
