pruning olive trees

[sean]

Going to look at an olive tree which is apparently 'out of control'.

 

Just after advice regarding time of year to prune, do's/dont's etc etc.

 

cheers in advance

check out the back end of this info from the Mediterranean Garden Society

 

Particularly the section by Dr. Peter A. Roussos

from the Agricultural University of Athens

 

Talks about pruning during the early stages, for fruiting

& rejuvenation of older trees.

Great recommendation , we do a lot of work with the MGS here in Portugal , and Dr. Peter A. Roussos is a great guy , i have even persuaded some of the locals to change their bad pruning techniques to his instead.

and it pays off !! better harvests and healthy trees.
