After a short presentation of the olive tree as a fruit and ornamental tree, Patrick Mioulane offers to teach you the basic techniques for performing a good fruiting pruning. He starts by removing the shoots that grow at the base of the trunk, then he explains that the olive tree produces fruit on two-year-old branches, and shows how to remove the shoots that have produced. Our favorite gardener then offers to restructure an olive tree that is about ten years old, which is too bushy and unbalanced. Patrick explains in detail each intervention of the pruning shears, the aim being to simplify the branches. A drastic but necessary pruning to restore a harmonious silhouette.
