<pre>Dear all - As you are aware I am involved in the preparation of The
Australian Table Olive Production Manual. A rent visit interstate
confirmed a list of varieties for Table Olives that I will include in
the manual. I am currently sorting out information from the visit, and I
will post a summary of my findings. In the mean time I am after
observations on the growing of the following varieties in Australia I am
interested in

1. hearing from people growing the varieties
2. any growing problems
3. processing problems

You can contact me directly or through the group. I am sure the group
would be interested and I welcome international comment.

The Varieties are

Frantoio
Barnea
Californian Mission
Cucco
Leccino
Picholine
Verdale
Hojiblanca
Konservolia (Volos)
Kalamata
Jumbo Kalmata
Manzanilla de Sevilla
Ascolana Tebera
Azapa
Barouni (Uovo di Piccione)
Gordal Sevillana (Sevillano) - Spanish Queen
Hardy's Mammoth
Oliva a Prugno
UC13A6 (Calofornian Queen)

Thank You

Stan Kailis
