<pre>Dear All,

I have recently been contacted by an olive grower in Luddenham in the
western Sydney area with 3000 trees that sound as though they need a good
pruning. These are 7yo Manzanillo, "quite big" trees that have not borne
fruit for the past two years, so I suspect that a lot of the tree's energy
had gone into tree growth at the expense of fruit.

Is anybody in the position to help, either by paying a visit to the grove to
assess what needs to be done, or indeed in pruning the trees? I am over 3
hours away in the Hunter Valley and if nobody else is available I'll drive
down and have a look, but is there somebody closer?

I can be contacted on either 0419 244785 or 02 6579 1004. Luddenham is
between Penrith & Liverpool, I think.

Regards,

Mike Wilson
Hunter Valley.
