🟥 Varetas en la Cabeza del Olivo: Problema o Herramienta de Formación?

Why does a Picual olive tree produce a dense canopy of shoots while a Picudo olive tree has a much more open canopy? 🌿 The answer lies in something many forget when pruning olive trees: each variety has a different growth pattern and requires management adapted to its characteristics. In this video, we visit an olive grove where we analyze in detail the difference in behavior between Picual and Picudo olive trees, observing how their canopy reacts and how their budding capacity influences the tree's development. The Picual stands out for its abundant shoot production in the canopy area, resulting in a denser structure, while the Picudo exhibits a more open growth pattern with fewer shoots. This difference shows us that there isn't just one way to prune an olive tree. Furthermore, we explain a key idea: shoots aren't always a problem. Properly selected and managed, they can become future productive branches, taking advantage of the competition between them to achieve a better angle and a more balanced structure. #OliveTreePruning #PicualOlive #PointedOlive #OliveGrove #Agriculture #OliveOil #OliveTreeTraining #RafaelNavarroMurcia
