Xylella resistance

The olive variety described is highly suitable for modern, intensive cultivation systems. Based on its characteristics:

• Oil Quality: The variety produces oil with excellent characteristics and strong personality, indicating a high-quality olive oil.

• Vigor: With medium to low vigor, the trees are manageable for dense planting, making them suitable for mechanical harvesting without excessive growth.

• Early Ripening: The earlier ripening compared to Arbequina offers flexibility for growers in harvest timing, helping to avoid issues like weather or market pressure.

• Cold Tolerance: Greater tolerance to cold extends the geographical range where this variety can be successfully cultivated, which is important for regions with harsher winters or unpredictable cold spells.

• Early Production: The early entry into production is an attractive feature for growers seeking a faster return on investment, allowing them to start harvesting sooner than with other varieties.

• Super High-Density Suitability: Designed for Super High-Density (SHD) planting systems, this variety is ideal for growers looking to optimize land use, reduce labor costs, and improve efficiency through mechanical harvesting.

• High Yield: The high yield potential, combined with the other advantages, makes it a strong candidate for commercial olive oil production
