There is a traditional saying that I love which says you should prune your olive trees so that 'the swallows can fly through', meaning that the ideal tree shape is one with an open centre allowing air and sunshine to penetrate right into the heart of the tree. This promotes vigour and prevents disease. Olive pruning normally takes place at the end of the harvest and the cut wood makes an excellent contribution to the log store!
