My family originated from the Mediterranean Botanic Name: Olea europaea ‘Mission’ Tree – Heavy Cropping I am a cultivar of a European Olive bred in California by missionaries. I feature upright stems more frost tolerant than other varieties. My medium sized fruit is equally good for curing as it is for oil production and has a smaller pit which separates easily from the flesh. While I can be kept small and will thrive in a large pot or container I will develop into a large tree unpruned. My fruit can be harvested and cured green or black. When fully ripe my fruit will fall to be collected from the ground. Unpruned I tend to be multi trunked and am usually trained to a single trunk as I grow.
