Olive Trees in Summertime
olivi giugno 3

In June, Italian olive groves enter a delicate and crucial phase: flowering  is coming to an end and the plants are moving towards the phase of fertilization first and then of fruit set (the formation of the fruit, the olive).

🌸 Phenological phase:

The olive trees are in bloom. The climate can speed up or slow down fertilization, depending on the temperatures. 
🐝Remember that the presence of bees and their precious work is essential for pollination, guaranteeing the reproductive cycle from year to year.

Here are the main activities I carry out on my land in June:


🌳Monitoring of the soil and plants in their entirety (flowers, leaves, branches).

Careful observation is a must and this requires time and accuracy.

💧 Irrigation:

At the beginning of summer, the adult plants are not suffering, while for the younger ones I provide for their periodic watering.

🪰 Phytosanitary defense:

The greatest danger comes from the oil fly. It is important to act promptly in order to reduce or avoid the problem.
I use biological phytosanitary wares.

✂️ Frond management

I remove any dry branches to improve the health of the olive grove.


As you can see, Summer is a season of fire🔥, not only because of the scorching temperatures! Phytosanitary checks, plant maintenance and irrigation, decisions based on the weather… There is very little time for boredom or for “sloth” mode 🦥, even if the heat does not help us. 🥵

After all, it is now that the foundations for Autumn production are being laid, so every action counts.
