In Tolva, every family (for as long as the locals can remember) has a patch of land with which to grow olives (and figs). The fields get passed down from generation to generation. Most of the trees that we harvested were over 100 years old, and still kickin. They are trimmed in a way that keeps them low to the ground, while still producing the same amount (if not more) olives.
