Leccino Olive | Leccino | Olea europaea 'Leccino'
Leccino Olive is a vigorous, evergreen perennial tree from Tuscany, Italy, cherished for its high-quality oil production and attractive weeping habit with silvery gray-green foliage. This rustic variety yields early-ripening, medium-small black olives ideal for fruity, mildly spicy extra virgin oil or table use, thriving in Mediterranean-style landscapes or containers. Its Xylella resistance, dense canopy, and ornamental appeal make it a standout for orchards, patios, or specimen planting.
