Some argue that olive trees do not need to be pruned, since they are plants that can grow autonomously. <strong>But then why are there pruning courses?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The answer is simple: <strong>well-executed pruning is not so much useful for the tree, but for those who will harvest the olives<\/strong>.
