Raw olives are not edible anyway! The raw fruit is very hard and bitter. The fruits need to be maturerd in oil or brine for a long period before they can be eaten.

Mine produces little olives but they are 99% stone! Even global warming may not be enough for the avid British olive grower! Sorry, they are purely for ornamental purposes in the UK.

Our summers aren't hot enough for decent fruit production on olives, Sonia, so unless you can provide much more sunlight, or a heated glass house, it won't be possible. Some years, if its very, very hot, you might just get a reasonable crop.
