Olive Kolossus Kalamata 200MM
Olive ‘Kolossus Kalamata’ – 200MM
I am Kolossus Olive. My family originated from northern Greece
| I am a great tasting table olive with a similar flavour to the Kalamata, but much larger in size and tolerant of cold conditions.
My delicious fruit is well suited to being pickled for table and can be pressed for its oil. I respond well to pruning and can be easily maintained at heights ranging from 2-8m tall with an annual cutback. I have dark glossy green leaves with silver under sides. I am a very hardy tree that thrives in Mediterranean conditions and looks great as a feature specimen, avenue or hedge. I can also be trained to grow as an espalier or a standard tree. I am a great choice for an ornamental screening hedge with the bonus of a bountiful harvest. |
