Arbequina

with

it so we grow two kinds of olive oil olives The first kind is called Arbequina, originally from Spain, we grow it here on the Golan.

The other one is called Korneiki, originally from Greece.

We make about 15 tons of olive oil, of two kinds.

I am great.

Listen, I had picked up an Arbequina olive tree, you know, very small, at one of the grocery stores here, Winter Park, and planted it, and now it's about six feet tall.

And I was wondering if I should make it a standard.

One trunk is a little bit curvy, the main trunk, but I didn't know if I'd just leave it as a bush, or is it better to have it as a standard and sort of work with that crooked trunk?

that is personal preference but the crooked trunk is just the epitome of a crooked olive tree that you see in europe you know when it has that curve to it because olive trees are not straight trees so the bark does curve and it gives it that kind of personal unique look that gets all gnarly and looks great with an olive tree.

So that's personal preference for you, whether you want to keep it as a shrub and keep cutting it, because it's just going to keep getting bigger and bigger.

They will get to be 20 plus feet tall, the Arbequina.
