Oh, and they did this while are dying from blight (Xylella fastidiosa bacterium) and . Basically, a crime against fellow humans and nature!

forces uproot 2,000 olive trees in the West Bank

14 November 2022

"Israeli forces on Monday uprooted and destroyed some 2,000 olive trees in the village of Qarawat Bani Hassan in the northern occupied West Bank, according to local media.

"Ibrahim Assi, the mayor of Qarawat Bani Hassan, said soldiers stormed al-Awarid, an area north of the village, declared it a closed military zone, then proceeded to bulldoze the area, of around 300 dunams (o.3 square km), in an operation that lasted for more than five hours.

"Assi said Israeli forces destroyed stone walls, 'stole the olive trees they uprooted", and sprayed chemical over , and saplings.

"The olive harvest season, which runs between October and November, is a lifeline for 80,000 to 100,000 Palestinian families in the occupied West Bank."

"Olive Grove," Vincent van Gogh, 1887.

Nothing like olives! Van Gogh seemed to view olive trees as a symbol of hope and regeneration. He did long studies of them at different times of day and in different seasons; this one is late autumn.

From the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.

of the over 500 olive trees we planted with cuttings in january / february this year, over 30 already have new leaves.
this is a very good result because olive trees cuttings do not grow so well.

a memory on a winter day…olive plants and white roses…peppery pungent leaves and musky fragranced petals…
from a summer afternoon in the hills of Spoleto…there was birdsong too…
feeling grateful for moments of warm beauty

BBC - A deadly and hard-to-detect disease has been ravaging the treasured olive trees of southern Italy for 10 years. A highly trained squad of super-sniffer Xylella Detection Dogs may be part of the plan to save the industry and part of the economy. bbc.com/future/article/2023011

(Olea europaea) are natives of the parts of and and have been in cultivation for thousands of years.

There is archeological evidence that indicate olives were grown in as early as 3500 BC and olives are some of the oldest living trees in with a few believed to be well over 1,000 years old.

These 500 or so on the farm produce well over 1000 litres of oil, after being picked and pressed nearby.

It’s a young ; about 25 years old but has produced a bumper crop during most of those years. Draught however, impacts yield from year to year.

Fruit will start to appear in the coming weeks and harvest will be late March, through to April. There’s usually a large window of opportunity to pick olives in . D#And it’s all dependent on weather and the development of fully ripened 🫒

Picking has always been a festive event with people from near and far coming to participate. Once all the hard work is done, food, drink and merriment normally follows!
