Notes
'Nocellara del Belice' olive (Olea europaea 'Nocellara del Belice') is a tree grown for green table olives and a creamy olive oil. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun. The large olives have a mild, buttery flavor and a crisp, meaty texture. The oil has floral and herbaceous notes. This tree is self-infertile, so plant a second cultivar such as Pendolino nearby to pollinate it.
Pairs well with Jojoba, Evelyn rose, and Statice.
