Does anyone know of a source for Texas Olive Wood?
All the recent threads about olive wood prompted me to see if I could find any Texas olive wood, but so far, no luck.
Olives have been grown in Texas since the 1930's (maybe before), but the industry has really taken off in the last 20 years or so. I have seen some estimates of over 1 million olive trees in Texas.
Olive production really got started in the Texas Hill Country - near San Antonio & Austin with many orchards, some with several thousand trees. The soil & climate in the Texas Hill Country is apparently very similar to the Mediterranean & California olive production regions.
In recent years, olive production has spread to south and east Texas. I read about one olive orchard in Victoria County that is supposed to have about 300,000 trees.
Does anyone who lives in an area where some of these olive orchards are located know if it is possible to purchase olive wood cuttings? I'm hoping to avoid blind calling.
Thanks
Edgar
