The infestation started about 10 years ago, and they only replaced half the grove up until last year with precautionary measures. The current situation looks bleak, it’s all they know.. I fear their cottage industry will die with them. I suspect like a lot of Puglia, many families will be going through this. It is common to see virgin olive oil exchanged for wine as gifts when we stayed at Christmas. Given the levels of poverty that persist there, it is shockingly humbling.
But they are resilient buggers..
