Olive - Olea Correggiola

Originally from Tuscany, this olive grows to a medium size tree that produces heavy crops with high oil content. An excellent table olive that is easy to pickle. The graceful silver-grey foliage makes it an attractive specimen or hedging plant. This variety is self-pollinating but growing a Manzanillo nearby as an additional pollinator will increase fruit set. For enhanced growth and flowering we recommend using Troforte M All Purpose Slow Release fertiliser. 8m height and 5m width at maturity.

Water: Water well and often when freshly planted until tree becomes established. Additional watering during flowering and fruit set may be required. Drought tolerant.

Sun: Full sun.

Soil: Tolerant of poor soils, however well-drained and fertile is ideal. We recommend using Aussie Organics Premium Soil Conditioner prior to planting.
