- Olive
Smaller growing olive producing large crops of small fruit. It’s quick growing and performs well in warmer climates since it has a low chill requirement. High oil content of up to 24%. Great for pickling and oil. High in anti-oxidants.Olive oil reduces bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. Olives will grow in most soil conditions providing adequate moisture is given during flowering and fruit set. Stake well to prevent wind damage while young. Train the tree to an open vase shape. Fertilise tree in autumn and again in spring with a general balanced fertiliser. For pickling pick when olive changes fron green to green/yellow or when black. For oil pick when black. Totally self-fertile so ideal as an individual tree.
