    That should be fine. JI2 has less nutrients than JI3 and you don't really want lots of nutes for your olive or you'll likely get some straggly growth.
    I would have added about 20% grit too, but a bit late now.
    Mine's been in JI2 for about 10 yrs or more now - I'm afraid I don't generally take very good care of it, but it doing fine.

    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
