Olive shortage due climate warming


Recommended Posts

Particularly a note to nonna, apparently there is going to be a shortage of olive oil due to the really high temperatures across Europe. How are your olives doing in Italy?

That's strange because all of our fruit trees have the heaviest crops I've ever seen. That's apples, plums, damson, medlar, quince, pears and a fig. Many branches are hanging down to the ground with the weight of fruit. A large branch has snapped on the damson. We do have a small olive but that's never cropped.
