February 2018. We purchased this beautiful old olive grove in Mansfield Victoria. By the way, we know nothing about olives or farms!
We started with mowing the really high grown grass around the property, which took us a couple of weekends due to quite strong neglect and the Australian summer heat.
Neglection of olive trees
The olive trees were in a distressed condition. They were starved of water and nitrogens, haven't been pruned in years and were overgrown. The olive trees have also been affected by leave bugs and black sud, which can be often found on distressed trees. We had it all and needed to give them a great level of attention and love.
