I'm not real sure about the difference between the black and green
olive. The green ones are obviously picked green since the olives
turn dark if left on the tree. I processed my meager handful last
year as black olives.
This is all new to me, I planted the tree just to see if olive
production was possible here. I have since learned of a couple of
commercial efforts.
