Fonte: Olive Oil Times
A study of the ancient olive trees on Capri has led to the discovery of previously unknown olive varieties and other interesting insights into the age and origin of the monumental trees growing on the Italian island.
The research, published in Scientia Horticulturae by the Institute of Biosciences and Bioresources of the National Research Council (IBBR-CNR) of Perugia, followed more than a decade of restoration work done by L’Oro di Capri in the abandoned olive groves on the western part of the island.
