We bought a fruitless olive tree approx 10 years ago, for the frist several years it was "fruitless" in a minute it blooms and gets olives, nil big enough to do anything next to, but big enough to clear a mess, is there something I can spray on the tree to hang on to it from producing these little black messy pits? The tree is too big to just block the blooms before the seasoned, its just a mess

thank you for your response
Answers:    Are you sure you own a female olive? It could be a masculine tree and what you are calling pits may be the left over manly flower parts.

There is a product called Florel that will get rid of fruit; however I don't know if it will work on olives, it is legal contained by your state and if you have the spray equipment to use it......if you tree is generous, you can't reach the top. You might want to do a Google investigate on Florel.

Also contact your Cooperative Extension Service in your county. Talk to him/her to see if you might own a male tree within which case Florel won't work, if Florel will work on olives, if it is still available, etc.

Finally anything you spray will be deathlike to honey bees in the nouns (no so much on your olive as it is mostly wind pollinated).
Ouch, I have an idea that you're pretty much out of luck on that one if you can't rip all the flowers rotten in time. Your best bet is to cut it down and start over. Unless you want to accessible an olive business ;)

If you stress the tree to the point that it is nearly dying, it won't have the drive to produce fruit, but you might kill it too. I don't know what you would do.... try to hold it from getting enough sea, rip off some yap... that seems pretty cruel though.

There aren't any kind of spray-on sterilization for plants that I'm aware of.
