PLANTATION AND MAINTENANCE
The olive tree is a tree of perennial leaf that needs well-taken care of minimums and it always resists to the transplant, is as it is his age, whenever a strong pruning of the branches of the tree has been made. Its transplant can be made in any time of the year, except when there is danger of frozen forts, since they enter by the wounded cuts and of the transplant. This happened in the frozen forts of year 1956 in several zones of Spain, but soon the base returned to appear and to grow normally. Although the wounds or cuts can be protected with a special putty for horticulture. A tree of medium size (200 years) can stand being made a hole of about two by a two meters by single one 60 cm of depth (2 mts. 2 xs mts 60 xs cms.) trying that the superior part by its root is at sight for decoration. When placing it in the hole with a truck with sufficiently long and powerful pen in its Maxima extension (of 800 to 3000 kg.), the Earth will have to be tightened at great length with the handle of a hoe, below I circulate by the root, so that it takes good contact and that they are not left empty spaces inner, watering soon several spaced times. Avoiding on the following day, with superficial Earth removing, the cracks of the watered one by where the humidity would escape.
