Picking olives involves considering their color and ripeness; they don't all need to be completely black.
Here's a breakdown of how to pick olives:
- Ripeness Indication: Olives don't need to be completely black to be ready for picking.
- Color Variation: A portion, even up to 70%, can be green if desired.
- Tree Impact: If left on the tree too long, they can be lost.
In essence, you can harvest olives when they are a mix of green and black, taking into account your preference and desired taste.
