Olea europaea

I planted a new species of olive today. This is my 4th species and it is called 'manzanillo' and is a giant compared to some of the other olive species i am growing. For being only a 2 gallon plant, this guy was huge. I am excited to see what it can do. I left it plenty of space to grow to full maturity, so it can also provide shade as well as fruit. My goal is to make my own olive oil that i can use for cooking, but if you know me, i will probably figure out some other uses for olives ✌ i want

to try to get a dozen varieties to make different types of olive oil and also mix them. I am also trying to boost the farms genetic diversity. #olivetree #olives #olivo #winterfruit #gyo #fruit #growyourown #food #permaculture #ediblelandscaping #foodscaping #foodforrest #summer #garden #gardening #gardener #nature #happy #plants #entrepreneur #landscaper #naturephotography #landscaping #la #losangeles #cali #california #lancaster #mojavedesert #highdesert
