In this episode, we consider what the literature says about temperature requirements for olive flowering. What kind of winter temperatures will convince an olive tree to produce flowers? Some people claim that olives require "chill hours" similar to peaches and other fruit; is this true? I discuss some examples of olive trees growing in non-traditional areas and consider the winter weather conditions in those locations. Finally, does Texas have winter weather conditions conducive to olive reproduction? This is a lengthy episode, but there is much to discuss.
