Abstract

This new invention of an olive tree is characterized by its similarity to the ‘Arbequina Standard’ from which it is a clonal selection (naturally occurring mutation) from which it is distinguished by higher productivity, larger fruit size, better pulp to stone ratio, higher oil yield, and better oil quality. The plants are ideally suited for mechanical harvesting and high density planting. The fruit matures in northern California during the first week of October.
