We have a small olive grove of about 40 trees. I noticed
a significant amount of olives fell of almost all trees. The olive
become brownish and when it is all brown covered the olive falls by the smallest
breeze. I took a picture of some of them from one particular tree, these were not yet on the ground.

I would be happy to know why this happens and what this disease or pest is. Thanks!
