Now I can understand the confusion between the 2 genus. They say that familiarity breeds contempt. This is a young plant of olea and does not come from my olive grove, which incidentally, produced no olives caused by disease. When I go to inspect the trees it is only to inspect the quality and quantity of the olives. The pruning is done by local workers, as is the collection of olives. Yes! I must admit that there is a similarity between the 2 sp. Before the olives are collected, I will take a photograph of a tree which, I hope, will have lots, and lots, of olives.
