About Olea europaea \u2018Picual\u2019 (Picual olive)<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018Picual\u2019 has narrow, leathery leaves with a grey-green upper surface and silver underside. As the tree ages, it develops a characteristic, rougher trunk. Growth is generally more slender than in some other olive varieties.<\/p>\n This cultivar is known worldwide for its high oil content and is widely used in southern countries for olive oil production. In temperate climates such as the Netherlands and Belgium, the tree can flower and form fruit, but yields and ripening are usually less than in warm regions such as Spain, Italy, Portugal or southern France.<\/p>\n Location and care<\/p>\n Olea europaea \u2018Picual\u2019 requires a very sunny and sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Wet winters are less well tolerated. Outdoors, this variety is hardy to about -12 \u00b0C, and under favourable conditions even lower. In pots, winter hardiness is more limited and frost protection is recommended.<\/p>\n The tree is low-maintenance and retains its leaves throughout the year. Pruning can be applied in spring to maintain its shape or keep the crown airy.<\/p>\n Specifications<\/p>\n - Pot size: 9 cm With this set of 4 Olea europaea \u2018Picual\u2019, you bring a classic Mediterranean olive known for its hardiness and decorative appearance into your home.
