Olive progression 2013

Below are two olives, to the left a Maurino and to its right a Favolosa.  Notice the Favolosa's darker green color compared to the Maurino.

 Below is a cross section of the Favolosa, around 11mm.
 Below is a Maurino, around 10mm.
Notice the endocarp is defined, as it has been for several weeks, and is not yet hardening, or lignifying.  In the center where the kernal or seed will be is occupied by a jelly like fluid.
