Pauline says... Well I have defiantly seen kalamatas with the label stating it needs a pollinator. Not sure which one it was though. I know I don't have it, and was hopping was of the neighbouring trees was the right one. Ohhhhh well.

dan says... told from a olive grower
to allow plenty of water
good doses of liquid mix with borate, calcium and nitrate (4-6 times a year). some light chicken poo and sugar cane mulch around to keep moisture.
since i had done this the trees all look so much better | About the Author
