his depend on the amount of
fruit that the olive tree produces each year if
the tree is "loaded", by distributing
its sap among a greater number of olives, these
will be smaller and, therefore the number of
small sizes will be high one.

lower yield. The alternation in the harvest or
"veceria" has now been reduced by the great
increase of olive grove plantations with irrigations,
especially the drip system.
