Olive ‘Frantoio’

Evergreen shrub has soft gray willow-like foliage and smooth gray bark. Slightly fragrant, small, white flowers followed by black, edible fruit late summer to fall.  High yield of medium-sized olives makes this specimen the most common olive used for a Tuscan style oil. Great for Mediterranean gardens! Olives must be processed.
