Olive Trees

Each spring we have our olive trees pruned, Eric is our man! his mother is Potugese and has an Olive Farm.
This year we have gone for the hard cut - partly because the frost has burnt a lot of the outer branches and leaves and also because the trees are getting taller and taller making the harvest more difficult.
These are our younger trees, they were originally where our house stands and we moved them about 4 years ago. Next year they should begin to produce a fruitfull harvest!

Of course as fast as Eric cuts I get to do the picking up!
