Originating from Greece, Volos is an excellent table variety producing large, beautiful olives – commonly picked green – (can also be picked black.) before curing. Can also be used for oil.

Olives are quite suited to our climate and they can grow in those tricky spots where others have struggled. They’re a long lived tree and also make good potted specimens. Their root systems are quite shallow, so they’ll need a free draining soil – they don’t like being waterlogged.

For good fruit production give them plenty of water, especially during flowering. Olives ripen up in late Autumn. They all start off dark green, turning to a light green colour before turning black. Harvesting is done at either stage, light green or black before pickling or making oil.
