June 18, 2021 April 2021 Olive Field Day
This first episode is a recording of my presentations and our conversations had during the April 24, 2021 Olive Field Day. There was a problem with the recording, so it also contains some commentary which I recorded and added today, June 18th, 2021.
We discuss the effects of the February 2021 severe freeze event on olives across Texas, what we learned from the freeze, strategies for mitigating freeze damage in the future, thoughts on rehabilitating damaged orchards, olive variety trial results across Texas, and herbicides and insecticides for olives in Texas.
