  • Olive growing in Slovenian Istria and climatic limitations to its development
    Ogrin, Darko
    In Southwestern Slovenia olive trees grow at their northern climatic limit, such that they are periodically endangered by severe frosts. In the 20th century, the average recurrent period of frosts ... was 20 years, and in the 18th century, which is considered to have been colder it was 10-15 years. In spite of the risk of periodic frosts, olive growing is an important and profitable economic activity, which is steadily progressing due to an increasing demand for olive oil in the last few decades. An analysis of topoclimatic conditions for olive trees shows that witin the existing cultivated area, the capacities are sufficient to double at least the present-day olive groves. Expansion beyond the borders of the traditional area, however, could be questionable despite a predicted climatic warming, since the same prognoses also forecast a greater possibility of weather disasters and extremes, including frosts.
