The only problem I have is getting quality olives. Wild ones are tiny with a rather unpleasant flavour. I’d love to grow the jumbo Sicilian olives, kalamata or other pleasant varieties, but they need to be purchased. Also, how hard is it to grow the olive fruit to a good size and quality? I haven’t found any info online.
Ola! Growing olive trees is so easy!
They only need some water in the early years. And after that, you just need to prune so you don't grow too big.
