RIPENING OLIVES

It has been a good year for olives (Olea europaea) in Melbourne this year and our olive tree in the back yard is absolutely laden with a heavy crop of fruit. It's a sure sign of Winter when the olives are bigger and darker on the tree...

  2. I've seen olive trees but haven't gotten a clue how the fruit is transformed into the brined product or what the flowers look like. They interest me, though.

  3. So that's how you know it's winter, because I know it doesn't get very cold there!! What a great image. I've never seen olives on the vine before.
