crop because I wanted ripe olives. A freeze with temperatures down to
13 degrees destroyed the olives on the tree. The tree is OK I think.

I'm sorry to hear about your freeze and loss of your olives. I hope
your tree is okay. Just as the early part of this last summer, this
winter is also shaping up to be an unusual one. Unfortunately, we may
experience more of these as global warming upsets the expected weather
patterns.
<<< Several commercial groves have been planted in Western Oregon in
recent years. I think the message is to make oil or green olives. >>>
Do you mean green olives as compared to the black ones? Or green as
opposed to ripe olives. I thought the difference between black and
green olives was due to different processing. Does extracting olive
oil not require ripe olives?
