CANINO OLIVE TREE SEEDS (Olea europaea)
The Canino Olive (Olea europaea) is an ancient heirloom Mediterranean variety named after the town of Canino in Italy, located north of Rome, where these olives have been cultivated for thousands of years. This highly productive olive tree is prized for its oil and abundant fruit yield, making it a valuable choice for both home growers and commercial cultivation.
The Common Olive is an evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region, typically growing 20–30 feet tall with a rounded, spreading canopy. As the tree matures, its trunk and branches develop a beautifully gnarled, textured appearance, adding ornamental value to the landscape.
Its narrow, silver-green foliage remains attractive year-round, while small, highly fragrant white flowers bloom in summer, producing clusters of oval green drupes that ripen to deep black olives. Each fruit contains a single pit and is widely used for table olives and premium olive oil production.
