Two pests.

One is lacebug - tiny insects which seriously damage leaves. Can be wiped off by hand when tree is small, but will need spraying when tree is larger.

The second problem is a small borer grub which ringbarks the young tree typical

Planted in the front yard after digging them out of the back yard 2 years ago they had made it up to 3 meters high (alot of pruning) before being cut down to less that half height and placed in milk crates. I can't believe they all survived but luckily they did and they now seem to have stabalised and have started growing. At there feet are lots of Aloevera.

Olive - Frantoio (Cutting) ^10/10

Edward3's Edible Fruits
Update: 2018 days 20hrs

Comments: -

Planted this tree to cross-pollinate Kalamata olive on advice from olive plantation owner. Reasonably good crop in 2016. Small olives.

Got a large crop in 2019 and made up 6 large jars of olives. They were fantastic. Can't wait for the next crop.

Since this is an established tree, decided to graft a few other varieties onto it as an experiment - Spanich Queen, Kolossus Kalamata, and Manzanillo - using bark grafting which seems to work very well.
