The olive cultivation is considered to be quite easy. The olive tree does not demand special care and the most difficult process is the collection of the olives. The tree is very resiliant and it multiplies itself easily. The hardest thing for its cultivation is the cutting of the branches. In this way the offspring are renewed and the production augments.

In Creta the elderly people did not cut the branches annually. Year to year though they noticed that the trees that had broken branches due to snowfall had greater production that the others. From that time and afterwards they started to cut the branches every year.
