Olives dropping
Just noticed today that some of my olives are dropping.  The fruit is full size but not mature yet.  Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem ?  The variety is Piqual.

Olive burning
Hi,
Is it safe to burn freshly cut olive and almond wood or would it cause damage to the chimney flue or wood burning stove.
