About Your New Olea europaea 'Correggiola' Olive

Olea europaea 'Correggiola', known as the Correggiola Olive Tree, is a Mediterranean cultivar prized for both ornamental beauty and high-quality olive oil production. It grows 4–6 meters tall and 3–4 meters wide, featuring narrow, silvery-green evergreen leaves and a rounded, open canopy with a picturesque, gnarled trunk.

This olive produces small to medium olives with high oil content, ripening in late autumn. It thrives in full sun, requires minimal maintenance, and benefits from pruning to maintain shape, especially in containers. Drought-tolerant once established, it needs regular watering during early growth and dry periods.

Ideal for olive orchards, ornamental gardens, patios, and terraces, the Correggiola offers both functional and aesthetic value.
