Abstract
An olive tree particularly characterized by its similarity to the Manzanillo olive tree of which it is a sport and from which it is distinguished by producing larger fruit which is more nearly spherical having smaller pits, and smaller leaves.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of olive tree, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Plant Letters Patent is: 1. A new and distinct variety of olive tree characterized by bearing fruit which is larger than that of the well known Manzanillo (unpatented) variety, but smaller than that of the Sevillano (unpatented) or Ascolano (unpatented) and being most nearly similar to the Manzanillo, from which it is further distinguished by having smaller leaves, producing fruit which is more nearly spherical, which fruit has smaller pits, and ripens five to seven days later than that of the Manzanillo and has an improved flesh to pit ratio.
