Hi au0rey - have you ever tried to pickle/preserve them?

Thats why I want to know what they are, some I hear are better for oil others for eating etc.

Hi Carlton, no not yet as this is the first year we are living on this property. Already two other friends are very excited and they will probably come pick them when they are ready. I am a bit lazy about pickling them :P

Hi Au0rey,
I am looking forward to picking mine, I am hoping I can use this years crop as trial and error for preserving them etc, then in the coming years when crops should be better I will know what I am doing LOL.

Hi Carlton,Your tree might be a variety of Verdale which is a dual purpose olive tree.Good for pickling when yellow/green or you can crush for oil but their oil content is not as high as other varieties.
Regards Mike.

Thanks Mike, its good to know. I am not sure I should leave all 3 trees in if oil production would be hard. Surely I would get enough olives from two trees to supply me enough for pickling.

Food for thought.

Dear All,
I love olive tree, but so difficult to find olive tree in my country.
Does anyone know the nursery in Singapore,Malaysia, Thailand or Australia who sell the olive trees and would be able to send door to door the trees to Jakarta -Indonesia.

Best Regards
Fauzi
Hope you can reply to my E-mail.

Hi Fauzi, are you allowed to import cuttings of olives into Indonesia? If so I could send you some cuttings, olives grow easily from cuttings but I,m not sure that they would produce fruit in your tropical climate.

Looking for help to identify the two types of fruit as per photos. The black ones seem to me to be ripe picholene. However, the small multi coloured ones are definitely not frantoio. Advice would be appreciated. Thanks
