Taggiasca Olive Tree – Elegant Ligurian Variety with Excellent Oil Yield
The Taggiasca Olive Tree is a celebrated Italian variety known for its elegant, pendulous growth habit and outstanding oil production. Native to the Ligurian region, this medium-vigor tree boasts a spreading, heavily branched crown adorned with glossy dark green leaves. Taggiasca olives are small to medium in size, ripening mid- to late season and producing a rich, aromatic oil with excellent flavor characteristics. With strong pest and disease resistance and consistent yields, the Taggiasca is a top choice for growers seeking a flavorful and reliable olive variety.

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.
