djayz Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I was at a plant market today and saw a guy selling an olive tree (THB 800, approx. 1m high). Anyways, I love olives and was seriously tempted to buy it. Have any of you guys grown olives here? If so, how are your trees doing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cold enough (keywords: chilling hour or chilling requirement). Similar to apples and pear. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5663689/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLW Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 That's what I thought too... What a pity, I love olives! Probably some exposed highland location would be suitable such as Doi Angkhang. They're growing subtropical fruits there.But I'll assume that the majority area of Thailand is not suitable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbhansen Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 It could (most likely) be 'Thai Olive' which is 'Hog Plum'. Totally different, from the Mediterranean you probably are thinking about... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
