A nursery in Nacogdoches planted a hedge of sweet olive between their property and a chicken farm. They wanted, and got, a sweet smelling screen. Now, if it compensated for the chicken stench, I don't know. That's a tall order for any plant. The nurseryman who did this is one awesome horticulturist and anything he does has been well thought out.

Here's one of the several sweet olives I've planted in varying conditions. I've got one each on the four sides of the house and one away from the house with out any protection and in the sun all day long. All are doing well.
