Ascolana Olive Tree
Used for Table Fruit or Light Oil
Ascolana Olive Tree – Large Italian Table Olive with Delicate Flesh
The Ascolana Olive Tree is a vigorous, dense-canopied variety celebrated for its exceptionally large, light green fruit. Originating from Italy, this olive tree is ideal for table use thanks to its creamy, delicate flesh that comprises nearly 87% of the fruit. The tree’s upward growth habit and slightly drooping fruiting branches give it an elegant shape, while its strong resistance to cold, peacock spot, and olive fly makes it a resilient choice for growers. The Ascolana’s rich history and refined flavor profile make it a prized addition to any Mediterranean-style garden or orchard.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
