Picual Olive Tree
Grow bold Spanish olives at home
Picual Olive Tree – Popular Spanish Variety for High-Yield Oil Production
The Picual Olive Tree is one of the most widely grown cultivars in Spain, celebrated for its exceptional oil yield, adaptability, and resilience. This vigorous tree features an open, expansive crown and produces medium-sized, pointed olives rich in oil—making it a staple in Spanish agriculture. The oil is bold, aromatic, and known for its high stability and resistance to oxidation, making it ideal for cooking and long-term storage. Picual thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerates a range of environmental conditions, and performs well in home orchards or larger groves. Although self-fruitful, productivity improves when paired with a pollinator such as the Frantoio Olive Tree or Leccino Olive Tree. With strong disease resistance and consistent yields, Picual remains a trusted choice for high-performance olive cultivation.

Guarantee
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.
