Description
The Arbequina AS1 olive tree has quickly become California’s top variety for olive oil production, renowned for its exceptional oil content and mild, fruity flavor with low bitterness. The small, oval-shaped fruit is prized for its high oil yield, making it an ideal choice for producing high-quality, flavorful olive oil. The Arbequina variety is known for its smooth, balanced taste, often with delicate notes of almond and apple, offering a well-rounded profile that makes it highly sought after in culinary uses.
With a compact, bushy growing habit, the Arbequina AS1 is an excellent choice for smaller spaces or home gardens. It is moderately frost-hardy, tolerating cooler temperatures better than many other olive varieties, and it thrives in a range of climates, especially in regions with mild winters. While this tree is self-fruitful, meaning it can produce olives on its own, planting it alongside a pollenizer can significantly increase yields, ensuring an even more abundant harvest.
The Arbequina AS1 olive tree is not only valued for its high oil content and ease of care but also for its adaptability, making it a reliable and productive option for those looking to harvest olives for oil production. Its compact size and hearty nature also make it a great addition to landscapes, combining practicality with ornamental appeal.
