Olives grown in Devon?
Hello
I have just read an article in today's Telegraph with interest - a farm near Honiton in Devon has planted some Olive trees and is expecting to produce olive oil in the future. http://www.otterfarm.co.uk/olives.htm http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.../ixuknews.html As I live only a few miles away from the farm (I am near Broadclyst, Exeter), I wondered what peoples opinions are of growing more 'exotic' fruit trees in Britain's southern counties? Has anyone any experience of growing fruit not commonly found here? I am aware that many plants such as oranges can be grown as long as they are over-wintered in greenhouses, but I would love to take advantage of our warming climate and new breeding of plants to plant something unusual in a permanent location in the garden. We do get frosts where I live, but rarely colder than about -4C. Any suggestions or thoughts? Thanks, Henry -- Take out the spam to reply. |
