The Cailletier, also known as Nicoise, is a vigorous olive variety originating from France's Alps Maritime region near Nice. This impressive cultivar develops into a substantial tr ee with characteristically drooping branches. Prized for small, ovoid olives with exceptional oil content, it's traditionally cured black for the classic Nicoise preparation and produces a delicate, refined oil. The tree exhibits intermediate and consistent bearing patterns with solid cold hardiness. Note that while resilient in many conditions, this variety requires vigilance against olive fly, scale insects, and olive knot disease for optimal health and productivity. Show more
