Olive trees

19 years ago

Hi,

I have two olive trees which were planted by previous owner of my house. They are full of olives riped. I don't know what to do. They are staining my drive way. I am thinking to sell the olives to someone who need them. Where

can i find them?. Otherwise how i can remove all of olives

from trees?.

Thanks for any kind of help.

One way to deal with the olives is to collect them the way olive growers do. The spread big sheets under the tree and the shake and pull the fruit off the tree.

For the future, you can spray the trees in the early spring so they don't produce olives. Check with your local nursery for exact timing.
