Why Arbequina

Low vigour and compact canopy, with bearing usually starting in the second or third year — ideal for hedgerows that need a fast return on investment.

Planting distances

Typically 4 × 1.5 m (about 166 plants/stremma) in super high density, or 6 × 3 m in high density with a trunk shaker.

Oil and fruit

Small fruit with good oil content, producing mild, fruity oil with low bitterness — highly commercial in international markets.

Requirements

Needs drip irrigation and balanced fertigation. Reasonably cold tolerant, but sensitive to verticillium in heavy soils.
