I can see now why olive trees grow in Scotland if they can survive those cold temperatures!
Looking at those stats you can definitely see why NZ is cfb Oceanic can't you! All time record highs barely touching 30 deg C is most certainly NOT the Med lol.

Sure, but that's not why the UK can't produce olives.
..... just be cool with it bro! - NZ can easily produce olives, and the UK can't - there's no shame in that..... just the reality of the respective climates.

It can though! We've been through this already! Trying to argue that the UK is too hot for olives is a daft thing to say! The Med AVERAGES temps that are the hottest temps ever recorded in Auckland!
Even in Tenterden in Kent nearly every year at some point the Summer temperature exceeds the hottest temperature ever recorded in Auckland!

Why did you post a youtube clip of an Italian olive harvest , as proof that olives can grow in the UK?
Now are you seriously trying to tell me that the UK is too hot in the Summer to grow olives! lol
They don't even average a kilo a tree ... in the years that they do crop. I have followed this for a while, and know what years that produced fruit - three years since 2014.

Was the Italian clip a mistake?
Here, there must be some serious drainage issues for the olive trees in NZ! They like a well drained soil and with rainfall at around an incredible 1210 mm a year in Auckland you'd expect them to be half submerged!

My climate sees around 1400mm a year and has plenty of olive orchards.
Had about 250mm here last week, and the ground is quite dry - remember that unlike your climate, the amount of daily sunshine by percent in my climate is pretty constant ... that has a huge bearing on ground conditions.
Olive trees are as tough as old boots - you wouldn't want to plant them in a swamp, but they can handle regular damp ground very easily.

Here Joe, look at this NZ fella telling us just how identical Hampshire is to NZ when it comes to climate and the similar conditions needed in both places to grow the olives!:-
