Photo: Elizabeth Fichtner.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Por Elizabeth Fichtner, PhD, Asesora Agr\u00edcola, UCCE Condado de Tulare<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The olive orchards around Ivanhoe and the greater southern San Joaquin Valley have been noticeably quiet during harvest season. Instead of harvest crews deliberately harvesting the historic table olive crop, many orchards remain unharvested and the fruit receiving stations have shut down early.\u00a0 The lack of a harvestable crop is the direct result of the climatic conditions during olive bloom in May.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The table olives grown in our region are all one variety (\u2018Manzanillo\u2019) that are sold for the black ripe olive industry. Black ripe olives are those typically purchased in cans, often sliced, and used as pizza toppings. Olives are wind pollinated and the \u2018Manzanillo\u2019 variety is typically self-fertile, meaning that \u2018Manzanillo\u2019 pollen can fertilize \u2018Manzanillo\u2019 flowers. The optimum conditions for flowering are when daily temperature maximums are between 60 and 65\u2070 F and minimums are between 35 and 40\u2070F. This self-fertile system fails when temperatures rise above 87\u2070 F during bloom. This year, during the May bloom temperatures rose over 90\u00b0F for several consecutive days. The hot temperatures limit the development of \u2018Manzanillo\u2019 pollen, consequently affecting the fruit set. To combat this problem, some growers have interplanted another variety (\u2018Sevillano\u2019) in their orchards. The \u2018Sevillano\u2019 pollen is less susceptible to heat, but there is less demand for the \u2018Sevillano\u2019 fruit due to its large size.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The heat at bloom during May 2023 limited the fruit set of the local \u2018Manzanillo\u2019 crop. Small fruit without a pit formed on trees by a process known as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">parthenocarpy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a type of fruit development in the absence of fertilization.\u00a0 The small parthenocarpic fruit produced on olive trees are called \u2018shotberries.\u2019 Shotberries are the size of blueberries and may be numerous on olive trees; however, they have no economic value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olive trees tend to \u2018alternate bear\u2019 meaning that they produce a heavy crop one year and then a lighter crop the following year. When heat and bloom causes a near total crop loss, the alternate bearing system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When heat during bloom affects the current year\u2019s crop, it often predisposes the tree to produce a heavy crop the following year. An extremely heavy crop is also not economically valuable for growers because large yields tend to result in small fruit size. Throughout the winter and spring, growers may use several techniques, such as pruning or the application of plant growth regulators, to manage the 2024 crop load. The success of these orchard management practices is dependent on cooler temperatures during the 2024 olive bloom season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3254\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3254\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3254\" src=\"https:\/\/theivanhoesol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Olive-Caption-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theivanhoesol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Olive-Caption-2-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/theivanhoesol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Olive-Caption-2-scaled-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theivanhoesol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Olive-Caption-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/theivanhoesol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Olive-Caption-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theivanhoesol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Olive-Caption-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/theivanhoesol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Olive-Caption-2-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/theivanhoesol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Olive-Caption-2-175x233.jpg 175w, https:\/\/theivanhoesol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Olive-Caption-2-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/theivanhoesol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Olive-Caption-2-1170x1560.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3254\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In a normal year, \u2018Manzanillo\u2019 olive is self-fertile, resulting in normal sized fruit with a pit in the center.<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Elizabeth Fichtner, PhD , Farm Advisor, UCCE Tulare County The olive orchards around Ivanhoe and the greater southern San Joaquin Valley have been noticeably quiet during harvest season.
