In all honesty Jim, I think if the growth rate remains the same as I witnessed you are gonna have to seriously consider a good pruning session !I thought I'd pop out, sit in @suavecarve's van and let @JJ see how the olives are coming along at Jasmin

Dear me, they are really gorgeous , and very old! Was the previous owner of the land a Spanish ?

No not old, we bought them as cuttings from the local garden centre last year. They'd be bigger but I think the summer heat here in Sutton on Sea was a bit too much for them

This season olives are once again beginning to grow on my trees, despite the damage from fire two years ago...
Has it been cold there @JJ, your olives look a little shrivelled for the time of year. I think if we have a cool May bank Holiday ours will be ready to pick very soon
Now now Mister Jim Boss... you probably forgot I was a southern girl... born in Algeria where olives are added in our bottles from birth!
I don't know if you understand Spanish but this is one of the songs you should know ..... A little bit of the Olive Trees history...
