Adopt means to save

how the adoption of a monumental olive tree works

Graft

We will choose a monumental olive tree that will be grafted with a variety of olive trees resistant to the bacterium of Xylella. Today grafting is the only solution to save the olive trees and is a long and expensive process.

Care

We will cure and follow the grafts over time to make sure they take root. Every year we will send you a picture of your olive tree, for the next three years. At the end of the three years your olive tree will be back lush, healthy and above all unassailable by Xylella.
