Olive Tree Sapling Koroneiki

The Koroneiki olive is a traditional variety of Greece and is considered the queen of Greek olive varieties from the region of Koroni. It is a small-fruited variety without special soil-climatic requirements, resistant to drought and adapts well to dry-thermal conditions and poor soils. It has two important advantages: its fast growth and its high and stable yield. It grows faster and bears more fruit when it is watered and fertilized systematically.

As a variety, it has biennial bearing, but with proper pruning and watering, the reduction in production in the second year is significantly limited. The fruit is small, suitable only for oil production. Its oil with its greenish-yellow color is of excellent quality with a fruity taste, an excellent aroma and a long storage period. It blooms during the second fortnight of April and ripens during the period from the end of October to December to January. The yield in oil varies between 15 and 25% (4-5 kg of olives produce 1 kg of oil).
