{"product_id":"n-a-olive-koroneiki-std-tree","title":"Koroneiki Potted Olive Tree","description":"\u003ch2\u003eKoroneiki olive\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKoroneiki is a Greek cultivar grown primarily for oil. The tree has medium vigor with a spreading, relatively open canopy and produces small fruit that ripens later in the olive season. Fruit quality and harvest timing vary with climate and care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis potted tree is intended for warm growing areas. Plant it in full sun and freely draining soil. Although established olives handle dry periods better than many fruit trees, regular irrigation during establishment is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePollination and harvest\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlives are wind-pollinated, and fruit set depends on cultivar compatibility, bloom overlap, weather, and tree condition. Koroneiki may set fruit alone in some conditions, but a compatible cultivar such as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mission-olive-tree-potted\"\u003eMission\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hojiblanca-olive-tree\"\u003eHojiblanca\u003c\/a\u003e nearby may improve fruit set. Harvest timing depends on the desired oil style and local conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a full-sun site with excellent drainage. Dig a hole no deeper than the root ball and wider than the container. Set the tree at the same soil level it had in the pot, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly. Keep the root zone evenly moist during establishment without leaving it waterlogged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrune lightly to develop a balanced canopy and remove dead, damaged, or crossing growth. Mature size, flowering, harvest timing, and crop size vary with climate, tree age, pruning, pollination, water, and care. Container-grown trees require more frequent irrigation and periodic root and canopy management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlives are bitter directly from the tree and must be cured before eating.
