Olive Tree Spacing

Olive planting patterns are a hotly discussed topic. Different parts of the world all have their preferences and as machine picking becomes more common the trees must be spaced and pruned specifically for the machine. Different climates and varieties require different spacing. Often trees are planted closely to increase yield with every other tree being removed later as the trees mature. Below is a rough calculator for density of trees. See also Antonio
