🫒 The Italian Prodigy: Corotina Olive Tree! 🫒

Ivy Paradise is proud to offer a superstar from the heart of Italy’s olive region: the Corotina Olive Tree! Celebrated for its incredible productivity and robust nature, this variety is a favorite for both premium oil production and creating delicious, meaty table olives. If you’re looking for a reliable, heavy-cropping tree that embodies the spirit of Italian olive cultivation, the Corotina is an exceptional choice. 🇮🇹✨

This vigorous, evergreen tree is known for its upright growth and strong branching structure, eventually developing a beautiful, classic olive tree silhouette. Its foliage is a lush green with a silvery underside. The true marvel is its fruiting capacity: it produces enormous clusters of medium to large-sized, oval fruits that mature to a deep black-purple. These olives are prized for their high oil content, which yields a robust, peppery oil, and their firm, flavorful flesh which is perfect for curing.

✨ Why Grow a Corotina Olive Tree? ✨

• 🫒 Prolific Oil & Table Olives: The standout feature! This tree is famously a heavy and reliable bearer, producing abundant fruit excellent for pressing into high-quality, flavorful oil or for curing as substantial table olives.

• 💪 Vigorous & Resilient: A strong, hardy tree that establishes well and can tolerate a range of conditions, making it a dependable choice for the home orchardist.

• 🌿 Partially Self-Fertile: While it benefits from cross-pollination with another variety (like Frantoio or Leccino) for maximum yields, it can still set a good crop on its own.

• 🍽️ Dual-Purpose Excellence: Its olives are versatile—perfect for both oil extraction and eating, giving you options for your harvest.

• 🌳 Ornamental Value: Like all olives, it offers year-round beauty with its silvery-green foliage and eventually develops a beautifully gnarled trunk.

Caring for Your Corotina Olive Tree:

• ☀️ Light: Requires Full Sun (8+ hours daily) for optimal health and fruit production.

• 💧 Water: Water regularly to establish. Mature trees are highly drought-tolerant. Ensure the soil dries out between waterings.

• 🌱 Soil: Must have excellent drainage. Prefers poor, rocky, or sandy soil over rich, heavy clay. It is adaptable to pH but dislikes wet feet.

• ✂️ Pruning: Requires annual pruning after harvest to maintain an open canopy for light penetration and air circulation, which encourages fruiting.

• 🌡️ Climate: Thrives in Mediterranean climates with hot, dry summers and cool winters. It needs winter chill to fruit but protection from hard frost.

Pro Tip: For a more complex oil, harvest a mix of green (veraison) and black ripe olives. For firm, meaty table olives, harvest when fully black.

Bring the abundance and flavor of an Italian orchard to your garden.
