I have seen her at a couple of the master gardener shows. Call them up someone can point you in the right direction.

I'm south of I-10, so my soil/climate aren't exactly parallel to FL parishes...but I have four arbequina olive trees. Two were large, 6-10' trees from a nursery, the other two were 3' tall from WalMart. Bigger trees are kinda just 'sitting', but I'm told that is typical for a larger transplanted olive. Takes a few years for them to settle in. Two smaller trees: one has already doubled in size from last spring's planting. The other is badly stressed as spring storms uprooted it twice in three months. I've restaked it & am hoping it will live up to the legendary toughness olives are said to display.
I got a few dozen olives the first year. Dunno what I'll get this year, as I had no hard frost and barely any days below 32 degrees. The olives are interplanted in a mixed orchard w/citrus, so all of the trees get the same nut/citrus tree fertilizer 2-3X a year.

I was at my MILs this past weekend and her trees are loaded with more fruit than I've ever seen on them. Grapefruit, orange, satusma, and lemon trees were full. Gonna be some good eats.

I have three Satsuma trees that look just like that. This past season was a bit light. There are easily double the amount of fruit.
No sooner did I post this than I went outside the next morning and noticed that about 2/3 of the damn buds had fallen off or were nipped off of the trees.
Now, there may not be as many as this past year.

Round one from last weekend:
Round two from yesterday:
I was not able to pick them all, I'd say there's probably 2 more 5 gallon buckets left to pick.

Got a lot of Hamlin oranges on the tree but they're still green. The blood orange tree is loaded but the don't get bloody until January. Both are smaller than usual. Last year I gave about 700 oranges to a local food bank.

Late January? How late can I let them hang?

My grapefruits did great. Oranges not so much. And my freaking lemon tree (after years of acting weird) seems to have cross bred with the grapefruit tree and has produced gross grapelemons.

Hey Paul you managed to not flood? My sisters satsuma tree went under so none for us this year. I also lost a freezer full of organic blueberries :(
Posted on 12/21/16 at 9:38 am to madamsquirrel
Yes we flooded had 6 foot of water in the house. The tree had seven foot of water on it.
I've been standing at my sink for the last several days hand washing them all.
Eta:
There is nothing wrong with them we have been eating them like crazy.

My Hamlins are still green and still a little bitter.
Posted on 12/21/16 at 10:47 am to Cajunate
I did double my fertilizer this year. Maybe that's why I mind or orange and sweet as candy???

They are maybe 3 feet apart. We inherited them in the yard but over the years they have become enormous.
The first sign of trouble was when the lemon tree slowly switched from lemon leaves to smaller looking grapefruit tree leaves. The fruits on those branches were gross hybrids but the fruit from the lemon leaf branches were delicious.
This year the hybrids have completely taken over.

Mine are excellent, as always. Also, they are not seasonal, but bear fruit constantly.
Another strange fact, they are in a part of the world where oranges are not auctoctonous, and theoretically should not be 'taking'.
