Olive- Swan Hill (Cutting)

Comments: -

'Swan Hill' is a non-fruiting cv. found here in Swan Hill, Vic.
material was taken to the USA in the 1962
by Dr Hudson Hartmann PhD. and found to produce no pollen or fruit.
It is now very widely planted in many municipalities across USA as a low allergenic, non-messy tree for amenity planting.

There is a nursery in Arizona that holds the sole rights to propagation of this cultivar despite this it remains a relatively unknown tree in Australia.

I grow it as a curiosity and because the tree originated from this district.
