I suspect retep1949 is onto it !

Cheshirecat has the same thought as I had. However, I've seen the Olives planted and producing in a couple of years. They grow like wildfire.
They prune them mercilessly, in February. They were all at it last week. I have about forty of them, very old, which are mostly overgrown and in need of pruning. My neighbour has done a couple of them for me (only the ones he can see from his bit though) but most of them have been neglected for years and need tending properly.
I'm led to believe mine are of the Empeltre variety (?)
I don't think I'll ever make any money out of them as I'm not a real farmer !
