Maurino Olive Tree

The Maurino Olive Tree is an excellent Tuscan oil cultivar prized for its delicate and aromatic oil. Maurino Olive Trees are somewhat compact with medium vigor and a graceful pendulous shape to them. Fruits turn purplish-black when fully ripe and mature early in the season, making it a good cultivar for northern growers trying to push the limits of where olives can be grown. Maurino is a great pollinator due its prolific flowering but is a self-sterile variety so another variety is needed for fruit production. Frantoio and Leccino are known to be good pollinators for Maurino. Shotberries due to insufficient pollination have been a problem with this variety but planting multiple pollinators at a close distance should alleviate this. Maurino has proven itself to be a tough and cold hardy variety here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon and should do well in other areas with similar climates.
