The olives are beautifully sweet now since cold out. But I ate more late September into Oct because my sinuses etc had immediate relief. You gotta treat them with more respect than you think but really after your been eating and getting pokes..before to long you heal from the pokes and and cuts or scrapes you may have. And you heal fast when you eat alot like me. Heck I take them in my pocket like sunflower seeds lol. WHO NEW right. I feel stupid not knowing til now. Enjoy this..I sure am. Loving every of of the 100s I eat. Do not profit nor gain from this tree. Had a bad happening but also good when I tried selling. Don't do it for profit. It's Godly ..hopefully you will how Godly they are. Amazing. And plentiful by the good Lord above..massively plentiful..they were just waiting for Love
