| I have heard that you can spray a olive tree with something so it does not bare fruit. What is the name and where can I get it? |
| There is a product called Fruit Stop which will keep olive trees from producing olives. Or, olive trees can withstand heavy pruning and by selectively thinning out the fruiting branches each year you can minimize the crop of olives that the tree produces. Carefully inspect your tree and you will be able to determine which branches will flower and bear fruit. They are the smallest, newest branches on the tree. Remove these small branches by cutting them back to the limbs that form the structure of the tree. You'll end up with a picturesque specimen tree without the messy fruit drop. |
