I thought olive trees lived thousands of years, Hope you didn't mean that one that's the wrong variety and you are grubbing?

I am presently planting almonds with an economically productive life of 25 to 30 years.
Olive trees can live a long time, but again, their productive life is not so long. I would not like to put a figure on it, but I grubbed out some trees a few years ago that were planted in the 1950s. I do not expect to outlive the olive trees I have planted in the last 10 years.

Ball park figures, if I planted 1 acre of apples this year (sort of medium density and probably bigger trees with sheep and chicken under), what sort of timescale to a decent yield and what would that yield very roughly be? Or is dwarf stock in rows better? Obviously easier to harvest.

1 ton after 3 years, 3 ton after 5 years rising to 10 tons max yield.
It is very much a how long is a piece of string question but that gives an idea of what the string might look like.

It is but thanks for the answer. A couple thousand liters after 5 years sounds promising. Is that big trees or dwarf stock?

There are so many variables that it could be either.
As you are in Devon there must be plenty of locals to give you a better idea than I can.
