Olea europaea, olive tree is an evergreen, long-lived tree that can reach over 10 m tall, wide glass, thick trunk, twisted, cracked, with voids and often very short. Finely fissured bark, gray or silver. Leaves opposite, 2 to 8 cm long, lanceolate with slightly pointed sallier de la tour apex, entire, leathery, glabrous dark green and gray by the beam, and paler on the underside densely scaly, more or less sessile or with a very short petiole . Flowers bisexual or polygamous, in axillary panicles Multifloras, with white corolla. The fruit, the olive, is green at first and very succulent drupe oil 1 to 3.5 cm long, ovoid or globose something that requires a year to acquire a black-purple at full maturity. Flowering period from May to July, its fruiting period between September and December.
The wild olive (Olea europaea var. Sylvestris) is a wild olive tree which differs in having a shrub, oval leaves, is smaller and provides a much smaller fruit. Lives in all soil types and holds heat very well, but is sensitive sallier de la tour to cold, especially frost. As olive varieties are interfertile with the wild olive, resistance to various stresses like drought, salinity and fire, is probably the contribution of populations of wild olive to olive. The wild olive is a kind of growing interest in afforestation, both for its hardiness and for its better growth compared to other species with which it shares property condition, but have difficulty seeds germinate, which complicates their cultivation in the nursery.
The Olive Garden is one of the most widely used for its hardiness and tree maintenance. The Olive tree is best for the worst terrain. For me personally, it is a tree that I love, along with pinea pine and oak. I have planted hundreds of Olives, and each one is different. Different in structure, in the way they grow, their maintenance, as pruning. When he had to make plantations Olivos, choose them used to go to a town of Toledo, Maqueda and Hormigos between. The provider you bought them, chose an olive grove, and if I liked the copies I bought it and sent them to the Work. Apart from choosing Olivos, of course, we ate one chuletada with coals of Vine and Olive branches, country bread and wine of the area. To enjoy olive and food, or they would tell my friends Eduardo and Santiago .... right?. Good, then forget these things, you know ... the crisis and big tits.
soil in the root ball of the Olive. Before performing this process encepellonar, olive drastically pruned, wood, all chuponada is removed, and tar to keep out disease by the court. Is removed with shovel and charged to tamping. Los Olivos he bought were large specimens, many other beautiful and horrible. El Olivo is that, being all of the same species, they are all different. The varieties of this area is the Picual. These olive production, once planted in our garden, it is very difficult to give olives. When working with trees in Gardening, must be clear 2 things.
The explanation for this is called "masting" which is that after a year of bountiful harvest sallier de la tour olive one in which the crop is small, but may be thought that this phenomenon will necessarily occur biennially is happening. Not be well known to the causes that produce it, do not have a control strategy, although it is known that developing fruits through their hormones and substances involved in its growth act as inhibitors of differentiation of buds, so many changes to become sallier de la tour wood flower to do, and this process follows that masting occurs. Actions to promote higher yields in the years corresponding load, by careful planting, sallier de la tour and giving it up in the early discharge contributes sallier de la tour further to accentuate the vecería. Some varieties of olive are veceras others so you can guess a genetic component to this phenomenon. On the other hand, there are techniques that reduce alternate bearing crop as irrigation or early olive harvest.
Regarding pruning, Gardener, I like to prune them as bonsai in flat stratified by industry, with trays collected, and very little leaf. This type of pruning the olive assimilated very well, and is very attractive ornamentally.
