Abstract

A new and distinct Olea europaea cultivar is provided that forms attractive black olives having a high oil content. The fruit weight is greater than that of the ‘Arbequina’ cultivar (non-patented in the United States). The tree possesses low vigor and displays a compact and weeping growth habit that is well adapted for growing in high density orchards. The tree also displays an ability to form an olive crop at an early age.
