Olives
Dave Wilson Nursery now sells Olint olive trees from Nurs-tech, the California branch of the multinational Agromillora. Nurs-tech is the world’s largest supplier of “in vitro” propagated rootstocks and olive plants.
Arbequina AS-1®
Excellent clonal selection of Arbequina showing higher olive production and oil yields. Tree has an upright habit and is an ideal SHD variety. Oil is sweet, delicate and fragrant with intense fruitiness but low levels of bitterness and spiciness.
Arbequina I-18®
Improved Arbequina. Shown to have more uniform ripening. Small, high yielding olive. Excellent oil quality. Perfect for high density orchards. Adapts well to poor soil conditions. Heavy initial bearing, high productivity, more uniform ripening than Arbequina AS-1®.
Arbosana I-43®
Late maturing, high productivity fruit. Very good (19-20) oil yield efficiency. The oil has a unique fruity flavor with strong character, bitterness and high levels of polyphenols. The tree is the most dwarfing of all the SHD varieties and should be planted closer together.
Koroneiki I-38®
Greek variety, originally cultivated on the plains, lower hillsides and coastal areas of Crete where the climate is relatively warm. Adapts well in high density orchards, early producer. Very small fruit size. Excellent oil quality with very high polyphenols. Fruit yield is high with a slight tendency for alternate bearing. Blooms with Arbequina.
