I have a mature olive tree in the centre of my back yard. This is fine and we enjoy the shade. My biggest problem is the fruit. My efforts to remove as many of the flowers as possible in the Spring are in vain as I still am on my knees picking up these staining black menaces one by one come October. Can anyone give me a solution (no pun intended!!) to rid the tree of ALL the blossoms? I have thought of trying a saline solution.

Thank you
