Olivery News — olive

At the recently held Royal Easter Show Olive Awards we were delighted to receive the Class Champion awards for 

My favourite olive tree. It always produces the biggest olives and a lot of them. The heavy pruning earlier in the season has exaggerated this, it is looking like the experiment of more pruning = less olives = larger olives is working.  Roll on Harvest.

See how to spot a set flower on an Olive tree, and the mechanics of flowering.

This year I had some help from my family. Was it #childlabour or #familybusiness....?  An ice cream reward certainly helped their enthusiasm! We picked two trees, it took 3 hours and we got 58kg the best yield yet from these trees.  These are the two big green olive trees that we grow at the Olivery and use just for certain customers, and at home. These will be delicious! Gotta get this last olive!
