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.
