To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The wild tree, or that which has been allowed to return to a wild state, distinguished as olivastro, pro- duces a small, oblong, very bitter fruit ; its shoots are therefore improved by grafting when it is only two years old. The par- ticularly large delicate olives of a variety distinguished by their long willow-like leaves, called in this country punginaire, are. principally used for preserving. The ripest fruits yield the finest oil. In the Riviera district, between Nice and Ventimiglia, the... full development of the olive can be peacefully awaited ; but on the coast lying farther westwards the French are frequently com- pelled to commence the harvest prematurely, in order to prevent .the olive being spoilt by the cold winds (mistral) of the latter part of the year. Upon the same ground, the olive trees there are supported by props, in order to produce a somewhatdenser and better shelter of foliage. In the Eiviera nothing of this is known, the tree being, on the whole, utterly neglected, and certaioly it adds not a little to the beauty, or at least to the peculiarity of the tree, that it is left to attain a somewhat natural deve- lopment.
