Elegant olive tree, exquisite oil
Maurino Olive Tree – Elegant Italian Variety with Delicate Oil
The Maurino Olive Tree is a beloved heirloom cultivar from Tuscany, known for its graceful form and exceptional oil. This medium-sized tree boasts pendulous branches and silvery gray-green foliage, creating an ornamental presence in gardens or patios. It produces small to medium-sized olives with high oil content, yielding a lightly fruity, smooth oil cherished in artisanal olive pressing.
Maurino thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing good tolerance to cold, fog, and common olive pests. It performs best in Mediterranean-type climates and is ideally suited for home orchards and compact landscapes. While its fruit can be brined, Maurino shines as an oil-producing variety. Note: Maurino is not self-fruitful and requires a compatible olive tree nearby for pollination, such as Frantoio or Leccino.

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.
