6 year old olive trees |
| A hint of the Mediterranean... |
The six year old trees really start to show the typical Tuscan 'goblet' shape of olive tree. The centre of the tree is kept open by pruning to ensure that the fruit produced in the middle are allowed to ripen.
This is probably our most popular size of olive tree and they look stunning planted out in the garden as a specimen tree.
These trees are sourced in Tuscany from family run nurseries which have been grafting olive trees for 3 or 4 generations.

| Olea europaea 'Frantoio' |
Olea europaea ‘Frantoio’ is one of our favourite varieties; it makes the classic small to medium sized olive tree that is indicative of the olive groves around the foothills of Tuscany. It is a self-fertile tree, as well as being a good pollinator; the olives make a lovely, fruity aromatic oil. |

| Olea europaea 'Leccino' |
Olea europaea ‘Leccino’ with its open semi-pendulous habit is a popular and widely planted form - it is easy to cultivate and is tolerant of a wide range of conditions. Leccino produces olives that are of high quality and are suitable for both the table and olive oil production. This is a self-sterile form and so should be planted with a good pollinator. |

| Olea europaea 'Pendolino' |
This is a small compact weeping form that is useful where space is limited; it has long thin leaves which add to its architectural appeal. Although a good pollinator itself, Pendolino is a self-sterile cultivar and needs to be near other pollinators to produce its multi-purpose black olives. |
