Olive Correggiola/Paragon Large

The olive Correggiola is an evergreen tree with greyish foliage and a graceful billowing appearance making it very attractive as a specimen or hedging plant. Fruit is small in size and ripens late in the season and this variety produces heavy crops with a high oil content. This variety is also known as Paragon, and grows into a medium size tree that produces an excellent table fruit that is easy to pickle. It can be picked both green and black, and plants perform well in both warmer and colder climates. This variety is self-pollinating, but growing Manzanillo nearby for a pollinator may help increase fruit set.
