The tree has modest-to-medium vigor with a broad crown and large green leaves. Its relatively large fruit is typically harvested green for curing, though it can also be processed for oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun and well-drained soil. Avoid chronically wet soil, and water consistently while the root system establishes. Fruit size, crop load, and harvest timing vary with climate, tree age, irrigation, and care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePollination and harvest\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlive pollination is cultivar-specific and depends on overlapping bloom.

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.
