Nurseries (Horticulture) California Fresno Catalogs; Nursery stock California Fresno Catalogs; Trees California Fresno Catalogs; Fruit trees California Fresno Catalogs; Grapes California Fresno Catalogs; Fruit California Fresno Catalogs; Climbing pl. ARE THE BEST AND MOST WIDELY PLANTED 57. When the trees are planted, cut them back to 20 inches, shortening in any lateral branches at least to 2 inches. The first winter after plant- ing, cut off all growth except four or five branches which are left to form the head of the tree and these should be so distributed around the trunk as not to cause crowding or overlapping in future years. When pruning the second year, leave from one to two lateral branches on each frame-work branch and cut them back one-half. The luture pruning of the tree is to preserve its shape and not allow over- lapping and crossed branches to grow. Olive trees do not, as a rule, come into bearing until they have been planted out for at least five years; from that time on the trees will bear heavier each year. A ten-year old orchard should produce two tons of fruit to the acre. Fancy prices are ruling this year and growers are con- tracting Sevillano and Ascolano from $200 to $300 per ton, while Mission and Manzanillo are selling at $125 to $200 per ton. When the olives are used for oil the price ranges from $60 to $75 per ton. Statisticians advise that the Califor- nia olive crop for 1916, as packed, was 3,600,000 quarts of pickled olives and 350,000 gallons of oil was pressed. A wonderful showing—and yet, by Sep- Jano tember 1st, 1917, olive oil was en- tirely sold and practically the entire pack of pickles had been disposed of.
