Ever since I posted about growing olives in pots, I’ve received lots of emails about growing olives. It seems a lot of people would love to have a couple of olive trees growing on their patio or balcony. And quite honestly, who would blame them? Olives are beautiful trees that create tasty fruit! So you can imagine how excited I was to see that the agricultural masterminds at UC Davis (which has an excellent agriculture program) have recently published a whole bunch of information about growing olive trees and curing the fruit:
- Video series on picking and curing olives at home with UC Davis olive expert Dan Flynn
- Safe methods for olive curing downloadable brochure
- Olive Fruit Fly: Pest Notes for Home and Landscape
I found out about these two resources because I follow their Good Life Garden project on Twitter. Check them out: @GoodLifeGarden.
