Description
The Manzanillo olive plant is the quintessential table olive, prized for its large, flavorful fruit that can be enjoyed both when green and ripe black. Known for its mild, slightly nutty taste, the Manzanillo olive becomes increasingly fruity and less bitter as it ripens, offering a delightful range of flavors at different stages. Whether used in salads, as a snack, or in tapenade, it’s a versatile variety highly favored for its exceptional taste and texture.
Moderately cold-hardy, the Manzanillo olive thrives in a variety of climates, though it performs best in regions with mild winters. While the tree is self-fruitful and can produce fruit on its own, it tends to yield higher quantities of olives when paired with a pollenizer, making cross-pollination a great option for maximizing harvests. This variety is also popular for its ornamental appeal, with its silvery-green leaves providing a beautiful backdrop to its bountiful harvest of olives.
Whether you’re looking to cure olives or enjoy them fresh, the Manzanillo is a reliable and productive choice for home gardens, offering both excellent fruit and an attractive, low-maintenance tree.
D.W.N. Manzanillo Olive Potted Plants measure approximately 24″-32″ tall, and the container (pot) measuring approximately 4″x4″x9″
