Olea Picholine is a popular French variety of Olive tree and is grown for its high yields of medium sized fruit. These can be squeezed to produce an oil with a distinct taste or eaten fresh. The fruit mature to a dark purple-black colour in autumn and originate from white-cream flowers borne in summer.

This evergreen typically grows to 6 m tall and the same wide but can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance with this variety is achieved when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of dry soil conditions, frost, and cool climates, but will benefit from wind protection while establishing.
