Five questions before you order
- What is the end product? Oil, table olives or dual purpose.
- Which planting system? Traditional, high-density or super-high-density — this sets the vigour you need.
- What is the climate? Low temperatures, chilling hours, wind, salinity.
- Is water reliable? Super-high-density plantings assume steady irrigation.
- Where do you sell? Market requirements for fruit size and oil profile differ by country.
Pollination
Many varieties yield significantly better with cross-pollination. Plan pollinisers with overlapping bloom at roughly one plant per eight to ten of the main variety, distributed across the plot according to the prevailing wind.
See the varieties we propagate in detail — Koroneiki, Koroneiki I‑38, Kalamon, Chalkidiki, Amfissis and Mammoth — and ask us for a combination proposal for your plot.
