Grow flavorful olives at home
Coratina Olive Tree – Bold Oil Producer with Strong Character
The Coratina Olive Tree is a vigorous Italian cultivar from the Puglia region, prized for its high oil yield and bold, aromatic flavor. Its small to medium olives mature mid to late season and produce an oil rich in polyphenols—ideal for those who enjoy robust, peppery olive oil. The tree grows with a globular crown and long, flexible branches, offering both aesthetic appeal and strong productivity.
Coratina is well-suited to warm, dry climates and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. It is known for its early fruiting, consistent yields, and excellent resistance to drought, cold, and common olive pests. While not self-fruitful, Coratina benefits greatly from cross-pollination with companion trees such as the Frantoio or Leccino olive trees.

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.
