Large-fruited Olive variety from Sicily, but with excellent resistance to cold. Excellent adaptability to wet soils. Fruit: Large size, firm flesh, a high flesh to pit ratio (6:1 to 8:1), and freestone are excellent table olive characteristics! These trees should probably be harvested in plenty of time to beat the fall frosts, for use as green ripe table olives. Perhaps even a little bit earlier than the local pinot noir grapes are harvested. For use as olive oil, they appear to be among the earliest to change color in our climate, and that in a cold year.
Tolerances: high to humidity; so far has shown remarkable ability to recover from cold weather (we have yet to have one die). Adaptable to different growing circumstances with a medium height and vigor; Typically in Sicily they are pruned hard and kept small such that they can be pretty much be harvested from the ground. They have a very dark green leaf, and are Carmen's favorite olive trees.
