Olive - Azapa (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

Planted 2007 years ago as large tubestock. Growing well.  Low maintenace.

Azapa, Azapena and Sevillana de Azapa

General - Table Olive, Fruit size can vary greatly - it is medium to very large (8gms average) yielding anywhere from  60-300 olives/kg and has an elongated shape with a somewhat pronounced point on  the end. Fruit is very fleshy with a thin skin. Derives its name from the  Chilean valley in which it is grown, where it accounts for about 90% of the  total plantings. Seems to originate from the Gordal Sevillana.

Climatic Considerations - Suitable  for warmer 'no frost' regions. Also being tested in other regions of Australia to check its tolerance to cold and ability to adapt

Another blessing from past owners... fairly small fruit. This one is also very close to the power lines and so gets a pretty vicious pruning every few years.
