Now this is what we should all learn.
As a newbie to gardening group and to gardening in general,
Talking as a total ignorant, something just came up to my mind. Without any of you getting cross and mad at me by asking you this question, Has anyone of you got a clue on HOW and IF it is possible for An Olive Tree to produce olives all year long? I have arround 400 olive trees in my property and during autumn I usually pick the olives ant take them to the Mill, and with all the oil produced I earned a good pocketfull of money. Does anyone know if there is a way of doing this?? |

If there was a way of doing it, don't you think that someone would have started doing it several thousand years ago? -- USA North Carolina Foothills USDA Zone 7a |

Does anyone know if there is a way of doing this?? Many fruiting plants work on an internal timetable related to the seasons. This is a complex topic and I am skipping over much. This is an evolutionary outcome of making the best uses of available resources, for temperate plants typically when there is enough sunlight and warmth to support the vigorous metabolism required to grow the fruit To do what you want you have two huge problems to overcome. The first is the genetics of the plant which is "programed" to only work in the summer the second is the availability of those resources, which in temperate regions is mainly in summer. There are apparent exceptions. I have a cumquat whose fruit are often not ready until spring but this is a case of delayed ripening, the majority of the growing still happens during summer and autumn. David |

David- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks David, I know it would be rather hard to achieve my topic, but I'm wondering if it could work with a small tree kept in a very special room..........but you would need a scientist uh? But think for a moment if it were possible.........who knows..... |
