Pendolino Olive Tree

Pendolino Olive Tree

Pendolino Olive Tree is an old Italian variety valued for its high fruit production as well as its crucial role as one of the best pollinizers for other olive varieties, often referred to as the universal pollinizer. Somewhat slow growing, trees have a beautiful weeping habit, growing to about 20′ tall in time. Recommended for warmer climates.
