Summary This paper describes the phenological growth stages of olive trees using the BBCH (Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt, Chemische Industrie) scale. Eight principal growth stages for bud, leaf and shoot development, inflorescence emergence, flowering, fruit development, fruit maturity and senescence and 32 secondary growth stages are described. Advantages of the BBCH scale over other methods are discussed.

- The Physiology of Adaptation and Yield Expression in Olive (2010, background): “6 Floral induction occurs in mid-summer (7 to 8 weeks after full bloom) around the time of pit hardening (endocarp sclerification) of the current season’s fruit, i.e. stage PS75 (Sanz-Cortés et al. 2002).”
- Ripening indices and harvesting times of different olive cultivars for continuous harvest (2013, background): “The fruit sampling started when, in the middle part of the plants, olives exhibited almost their 90% of final size, corresponding to the code 79 of the BBCH scale (Sanz-Cortés et al., 2002).”
- Summer deficit-irrigation strategies in a hedgerow olive orchard cv. ‘Arbequina’: effect on fruit characteristics and yield (2011, methodology): “Phenological development was recorded each year as occurrence of mean budburst, full bloom, pit hardening and veraison (Sanz-Cortes et al. 2002).”
