Episode 19 - Ideas, Root Pruning, and the Timing of Floral Induction

Update: 2022-08-05

Description

In this episode, I announce the upcoming UC Davis Master Milling Course, discuss an idea to bring together olive people from across the southeastern US, and review two scientific papers. The first paper studied the effects of root pruning on 2-year-old olive trees with interesting results. The second paper studied the potential timing of floral induction; basically, if new buds are produced on the tree from May through October, is there a point after which newly-formed buds will not become floral buds next year? This study has implications for Texas and is welcomed information.
