The Leccino is a vigorous and cold-hardy olive cultivar from Italy, recognized for its high productivity and the early, simultaneous ripening of large black olives. This variety is self-sterile, meaning it requires a pollinator, such as the Pendolino or Frantoio, to produce fruit. The Leccino is popular for both its high-quality, fruity olive oil and as a flavorful table olive. It adapts well to various soil types, thrives in full sunlight, and is commonly cultivated in locations such as California, Chile, and Australia. This offer contains one growing plant in a 4" pot.
