    Olives

    Does anyone have olive trees. I'm looking at putting in a bunch. I like the green but will eat the black ones too. I am looking at processing them to eat and also for the oil. We cook with it and it would make good fuel for bio diesel or lamp oil. I figure in a few years we will plenty. I'm going to plant 10 to 20 at our cabin and about the same amount here at home.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    i don't here, but when i was out in Lindsay, Ca. there was a grove? orchard? a bunch of them. had the damnedest time keeping the ground squirrels at bay. the Black Widows where a problem too. as for planting them, good on you for thinking ahead. i can see the benefits of having them.

    There are lots of olives in south Texas. I know a guy that has them south of San antonio. He had some further north near Austin and one year it hit 15* one day, and he lost a MILLION trees. They won't survive under 18* so it's way too risky unless you're near Mexico.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
