To Prune or not to Prune, Olive tree

I have a standard Olive tree. This was looking very sad, but following @pete advice I have fed it every week for the last 2 months. It has had a spurt of life and looks healthy, but growth is top heavy. I pruned the top third away in early spring. I am now getting some growth from the top of the trunk. Would it be OK to now prune back once again by 50% of the tree head, to try and get a lollipop shape?

TIA

 

I would Harry, start trimming it, or just pinching out to get it more bushy.

 

NO, sorry Pete, I'd re pot it into a bigger pot, Olives would have flowered or about to flower about now, they don't need anymore stress, prune in the autumn.

 

It wont flower because it was cut back, mine never flowers, or rarely because I prune it to stop it getting too big, it reached 10ft last summer.

 

Cheers @Vince & @pete .I do hope one of you is right, as I just pruned it back by about a third this afternoon I can't really repot it as it's in the biggest pot I want these days. I think the advised regular small feed regime is working. I'll keep that going until early autumn, and hopefully it should really buck up again next year

 

I have Olive fruits forming on my plants, they were pruned last autumn but I did get a "heads up" from a greek grower!

 

It will be 'Nobler in the mind' to take above advice. A larger pot for sure. Possibly tea.

Vince that is extremely fortunate. I was given one years ago but it passed away.. I apportioned blame to the chilly Winters here.
