Most olives served up for us are from a tin or a jar where they have been heat processed or stored in brine and so will be completely dead. If you want to grow them from a stone, I would try somebody who has a large olive tree which actually fruits, or maybe a botanic garden which has one. Otherwise, take a good summer holiday in a country where they are grown around the time of the olive harvest and you will have no problem picking up masses of fresh, untreated olives.Comment

^^ Agree, the ones you've eaten will have been processed and pickled. I could ask my Father-In-Law to send some from Cyprus?You may say I'm a dreamer... But I'm not the only one...
