About This
- MATURE SIZE & CARE GUIDE: The Leccino olive tree, renowned for its role in producing high-quality olive oil, reaches an impressive mature height of up to 40 feet. This Italian variety thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. Ideal for USDA Hardiness Zones 10-11, the Leccino requires minimal maintenance but benefits greatly from cross-pollination, especially with varieties like the Arbequina olive. With proper care, you can expect fruit production within just two years of planting.
- SIZE UPON ARRIVAL: Upon arrival, you'll receive a young Leccino olive plant, modestly standing between 3 to 8 inches tall. It's neatly potted in a 3-inch-deep container, making it easy to manage and ready for a nurturing start. Keep in mind, this baby plant is in the early stages of growth, allowing you the unique opportunity to nurture and witness its development into a mature olive tree.
- IDEAL FOR OLIVE OIL PRODUCTION: The Leccino olive is globally celebrated for its central role in creating the finest olive oil. Its olives yield a high-quality oil that's a staple in gourmet cooking, making this plant not just a beautiful addition to your garden, but also a valuable resource for homemade culinary delights.
- QUICK GROWTH & FRUITING: Known for its quick-growing nature, the Leccino olive tree stands out among its peers. It's capable of bearing fruit in as early as two years under the right conditions, offering a swift and rewarding gardening experience. This feature is perfect for those who are eager to see the fruits of their labor in a relatively short time.
- CROSS-POLLINATION ADVANTAGE: For enhanced fruit production, the Leccino olive tree benefits significantly from cross-pollination. Partnering it with another variety, like the Arbequina olive, not only boosts fruit yield but also contributes to the biodiversity of your garden. This characteristic makes the Leccino an excellent choice for those looking to establish a more dynamic and productive garden space.
