If your interest was purely in getting the most oil out of the olives then maybe waiting as long as possible until they are as plump as a Plucker Duck and dark red will give the best return. I got up close to the last of the olives for this year as the branches came tumbling down. Yes the tree missed out on a trim last year but this time around it has been cut back into a neat ball. Not your traditional hollowed glass shape but accessible enough for us and it did not cost $500. You could try salvaging the olives and there might be 2 kilos worth but the birds will finish them off and we are out of time anyway.
