Welcome to the world of Mediterranean elegance and culinary delight with the Lucca Olive Tree (Olea europaea 'Lucca'). Embrace the charm of Italy as we explore the unique qualities and cultivation of this exceptional olive variety.

Growing Information:
The Lucca Olive Tree, named after the picturesque Italian city of Lucca, is a true embodiment of Mediterranean culture and cuisine. With its distinctive fruit and graceful presence, it adds a touch of Italy to any garden or grove.

Zone Compatibility: The Lucca Olive Tree thrives in USDA hardiness zones 7-10 making it well-suited for a range of temperate climates.

Size: This medium-sized evergreen tree typically reaches heights of 15-25 feet, providing an elegant focal point in your landscape.

Chill Hours: To ensure robust growth and abundant fruit, the Lucca Olive Tree requires approximately 200-300 chill hours during the winter months.

Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for your Lucca Olive Tree. Proper spacing (10-15 feet apart) allows for ample air circulation and healthy development.

Pruning: Regular pruning is essential to maintain the tree's shape and encourage fruit production. Prune during late winter or early spring to stimulate new growth.

Watering: While mature Lucca Olive Trees are drought-tolerant, young trees benefit from consistent watering during their early years. Water deeply but infrequently to promote strong root growth.

Fruit Description

Flavor: Renowned for their mild, buttery flavor, Lucca olives offer a delightful balance of fruity sweetness and a subtle, nutty undertone.

Texture: The texture is tender, with a delicate flesh that practically melts in your mouth.

Color: The hallmark of the Lucca Olive is its exquisite fruit. These olives are small to medium-sized, with an elongated oval shape and a stunning green hue.

Harvest Time: Prepare to be transported to the heart of Tuscany! Lucca olives are typically ready for harvest in late autumn, around October to November. Picking them at the right moment ensures the perfect combination of flavor and texture.

Pollination: Lucca Olive Trees are partially self-pollinating, but they often benefit from cross-pollination with other olive varieties to boost fruit production. Planting another olive tree nearby can enhance both the yield and quality of your Lucca olives.

Bring a taste of Italy into your garden or orchard with the Lucca Olive Tree. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting, this variety promises to delight your senses and elevate your culinary endeavors. Cultivate your own piece of Italy and savor the unique flavor of Lucca olives.
