Summer Inspection!

Big and healthy fruits!

It’s mid-June. The grasses and flowers have now dried up in the fields, the soil has hardened, the sun is beating down mercilessly, and the cicadas are singing non-stop… It’s definitely summer, there’s no doubt about it.

As it’s been about a month since the peak of flowering, this is the ideal time to observe how well the trees have set fruit. It’s also an important period to regularly inspect the condition of the trees, so that timely measures can be taken—such as foliar feeding with amino acids—if signs of water stress are detected.

Dry and baren is the grove. But not the olive trees!

Almost everywhere, this image! Finally!

With great joy—and perhaps a bit of excitement—we observed during our visit to the olive groves on June 17th, 2025, that the majority, maybe 60–70%, of the trees under our Aegis are bearing fruit very satisfactorily! The remaining trees are also fruiting, but to a lesser extent. It seems the early summer heatwaves damaged the blooms of the trees that flowered later.

Nonetheless, the overall condition of the trees is excellent! Besides the favorable weather, it’s clear that Elton’s good care played a significant role. We believe that the timing of the pruning was particularly important: having completed pruning in the autumn, the trees were able to take advantage of the first rains to “heal their wounds” and the following ones to fuel their growth and spring flowering.

We are entering summer under the best conditions! If the weather remains favorable—with mild temperatures and maybe a little rain—we might witness things in our olive groves this year that we’ve never seen before!

For now, we leave you with a few summery impressions from the project’s olive grove at “Rachi Bardaka”!
