Pollination
Self-fertile

After considerable research, this is one of our original choices to grow in the UK. It's also a proven oil variety which features in many Tuscan olive oils. A small to medium sized tree, it is self-fertile and will also assist as a pollinator if you are building a collection. Known by a variety of names across Italy, its other name ‘Pendaglio’ gives a hint of its slightly droopy branches, which only adds to its beautiful appearance. The trees have done well here on the farm and we have both brined and pressed the fruit for table and oil.
