BUDDING AND GRAFTING OLIVES BUDDING THE OLIVE 403 Since the planting of a large area of Redding Picholines and thefruit found to be that of a wild or poor seedling olive and not a superiornamed variety, there has been a demand for working over the treesinto better varieties. More recently many of the imported varietieshave proved disappointing and a change to a variety profitable in the. :^\r(.^- Olive: Twig-Bud as cut. region is imperative. The method of budding commonly employedwith fruit trees does not usually yield a high percentage of successwith the olive, and other ways have been adopted with much betterresults. Budding may be performed at any time of the year when the sapflows freely. If done late in the summer, the buds lie dormant throughthe winter. Best results are obtained when the buds are insertedearly in the spring, as the operation can be performed to a muchbetter advantage, and the buds will grow to some height before inserted in large orchard trees, or in limbs of large trees, theshoots from the inserted buds are allowed to grow until they haveattained such a size as will justify in the removal of the entire top.
