Olive Frantoio

Olea europaea Frantoio is a medium-sized, Italian olive tree with a commanding presence, reaching heights of 6-8m and widths of 4-6m. Its elongated, lance-shaped leaves present a glossy-green top with a striking silver-grey underside. In the spring, the tree is adorned with fragrant white flowers, maturing into medium to large-sized, flavourful fruit. Transitioning from green to a dark purple-black when fully ripe, these olives are highly valued for the production of top-tier olive oil.

A versatile tree, Frantoio can be used for a variety of purposes. It can serve as a decorative privacy screen, a significant standalone feature, or an essential addition to your home orchard. It also thrives in a variety of soil types and conditions, but prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Regular watering during the growing season and annual pruning are recommended to promote its optimal fruit production and maintain its shape and size.
