I have read that it take 200 years to grow an olive tree
What kind of olive tree is it? Some of them can take up to 12 years to produce olives. It may just be a matter of waiting
Now I come from a different point of view. Be glad your olive trees don't produce olives - the olives stain cement, are messy, and if you think you can pick the olives and eat them - you can't. They have to be processed by brining before they become edible. There are also a lot of places that are banning olive trees as many people are highly allergic to the pollen.
And no, it does not take 200 years to grow an olive tree. I had them in another state. Maybe they can live 200 years if taken care of.
I am not sure what kind of olives they are.
Thanks so much for the information. Is there anything we should be doing. To keep them healthy? We know nothing about olives.

Are you sure they are fruit bearing olive trees? It is common in Florida to landscape with Black Olive trees which have nothing to do with olives.
Good luck with olive tree.
