Book excerpt: Excerpt from Drought Resistance of the Olive in the Southwestern States Again, it may occur that one Olive grove is producing bountifully while another near by, under substantially the same conditions as to temperature, rainfall, and soil may give but a scant return. Here the choice Of varieties, the distance Of planting, and the methods Of cul ture and pruning, factors all within the control Of the grower, may be quite sufficient to explain the difference between success and failure. In fact with any given example Of Olive trees which do not fruit, especially if they are distant from productive trees for comparison, only the closest study and thorough experimentation can determine how narrow the margin may be between their present conditions and those Of profitable fruit production.
