<pre>I dont accept that the wind was the sole contributing factor in poor
pollination in the Hunter?.Why? - because I know of several groves with
good fruit. One has kalamata/jumbo kalamata/koroneiki/volos/manzanillo
you name it all loaded. In the Hunter every year you hear that its
either too hot/cold/windy/dry/wet take your pick. The problem is lack of
knowledge. I dont understand why we have to build up our own data and
ignore the experience of italians, greeks etc who have been doing it for
many years. Maybe what they say doesnt fit well into a spreadsheet. It
takes time and patience.
