Hey, it's looking good! Love how the trunk is already twisted!

Wow, olives in your own back yard..................very cool !!!

I love it. What do you do with the olives?

I didn't know they would produce when the tree was so young. Mizan, who posts here as Mamachili, processed green olives from her tree and gave me some. They were the best olives I've ever tasted!!!! They were so good I limited myself to one or two a day and even sipped the juice after they were gone. I'll alert her and maybe she can direct you to information on how to process them.

Love it! I would really like to grow one, but am afraid of freeze damage. I'm about an hour from you ... we can have them this far north?

Has anyone on here been to Sandy Oaks Olive Orchard that's south of San Antonio. I just read about it. Would love to go sometime. I didn't know we could grow olives in Texas.

A bad winter can damage them. I believe the olives are inedible at first need to be brined

The tree is probably grafted which is why such a small tree has fruit

Yes, Todd, the olives are really bitter. I bit into one out of curiosity,,,won't do that again. I am going to keep it in a pot for awhile. Thanks for your input.

My two olives are from Sandy Oaks, great plants, great mail order but I'd love to go in person. Mine are at least 5 YO but never produced. There is an olive council in Dallas with a fabulous website on how to grow in our neck of the woods.
