Oliana Olive Tree

Oliana is a named olive selection described by Agromillora as compact and very low in vigor, with clustered fruiting and a late-ripening crop. The company presents it as a productive olive variety whose fruit is intended for oil production ([Agromillora Oliana cultivar page](https://www.agromillora.com/fr/nos-produits/oliviers/oliana/)). ## Selection and fruit Agromillora reports that Oliana ripens after Arbequina and before Arbosana, bears compact, semi-erect fruit, and produces a fruity-style oil. Its published production figures describe olive growing conditions and can vary with climate, soil, and agricultural practice; they are not a promise of garden yield. Olive fruit may be harvested green or after it darkens, and the species is grown for both table fruit and oil ([North Carolina Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/olea-europaea/)). ## Site and growth As an olive, Oliana has evergreen gray-green leaves with silvery undersides and small white, fragrant flowers. Give it full sun and fertile, well-drained soil; established olives tolerate dry periods, while new plantings need regular water as roots establish. These garden-care points describe the species and should not be read as a cultivar-specific hardiness rating ([Oregon State University](https://landscapeplants.oregonstate.edu/plants/olea-europaea); [North Carolina Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/olea-europaea/)). ## Maintenance Agromillora describes Oliana as needing minimal pruning in production systems because of its low vigor and compact habit. In a garden, inspect the tree annually and remove damaged or crossing growth as needed; keep fallen fruit away from paving if cleanup matters.
