This is a large and sometimes complicated subject area but it is our hope that the information on these pages will provide a starting point. Land Suitability Variety Suitability When to Plant Olive Grove Layout Land Preparation and Planting Irrigation Requirements Fertilizing Lime for Olive Tree Health Pruning and Staking for Mechanical Harvesting Monoconical Pruning Black Olive Scale Peacock Spot Machinery Manufactures Super-High-Density Evaluation by Dr. Joan Tous The above-referenced pages (except #14) apply primarily to standard density olive groves. For super-high-density olive orchards see our pages on super-high-density varietals and machine harvesting. <% end select %>
