Is Frantoio an oil olive?

The University of California table rates it sensitive to cold, where it rates Mission and Picual hardy. The rating is Californian, and no Australian reference read grades the variety.

How big does a Frantoio olive tree grow?

No reference read gives a height or a spread for the variety. The papers in the OleaDB sheet give strong vigour more often than medium, with spreading or drooping branches; the olive page gives the species' size.

Are Paragon and Correggiolo the same olive as Frantoio?

The OleaDB germplasm database files both names among Frantoio's synonyms, with Frantoiano and many Italian local names. That is the database's reading of the papers it lists, so ask the grower what a tree sold under either name was propagated from.

Frantoio (Olea europaea 'Frantoio') is the Tuscan oil olive: the OleaDB germplasm database marks it autochthonous to Toscana and other regions of Italy, and every paper it lists for the variety's purpose gives oil. The University of California's cultivar table gives it a medium fruit with 23 to 26 per cent oil and rates it sensitive to cold. It is a variety of the olive, whose page carries the facts common to every form.

Growing frantoio

Climate. The University of California's table rates Frantoio sensitive to cold, where it rates Mission and Picual hardy. That is a Californian rating; no Australian reference read grades the variety for frost. Papers in the OleaDB sheet record it in cultivation in Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria.

Habit. The papers give a tree of strong vigour more often than medium, with spreading or drooping branches and, in most, a dense canopy. No reference read gives a height or a spread for the variety.

Pollination and cropping. Most papers in the OleaDB sheet record Frantoio as self-compatible, the rest as partially self-compatible or self-incompatible. The Californian table lists Pendolino, Moraiolo and Leccino as its pollenizers and notes that those three are themselves self-sterile. Most papers record its cropping as good and constant, and seven of the nine that record it give an early start to fruiting.

Everything else. Sun, soil, water and what the references say of the olive's pests are on the olive page.

Using frantoio

Frantoio is an oil olive in every paper OleaDB lists for its purpose. The University of California gives its oil at 23 to 26 per cent with a medium to high polyphenol content, and notes that oils high in polyphenols have a longer shelf life and are generally more bitter and pungent. The fruit is elliptic and of medium weight in most papers. OleaDB files Correggiolo and Paragon among Frantoio's synonyms; growers also list olives as Paragon and as Correggiola, so ask whether a tree sold under one of those names is this variety. The other fruiting olives with pages are Picual, Mission, Manzanillo and Kalamata.

What to check before you buy

The table above shows the sizes growers list, and root and quality checks are in the nursery plant quality guide. For a crop, the Californian table's pollenizers for Frantoio are Pendolino, Moraiolo and Leccino, though most papers OleaDB lists call the variety self-compatible. Its cold-sensitive rating in that table is the check for a frosty site, with the caution that the rating was made in California. Stock crossing a state border moves under the state and territory biosecurity rules, and the olive page carries the weed listings: in South Australia olive trees not maintained for harvesting must be controlled.

Olives are declared under the Landscape South Australia Act 2019: landholders must control olive trees that are not maintained for harvesting, and any seedlings. Weeds Australia lists the European olive, subsp. europaea, as a declared weed in South Australia and the African olive, subsp. cuspidata, as declared in New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia. NSW WeedWise lists the African olive under the general biosecurity duty across New South Wales, with regional measures for the Central Tablelands, Greater Sydney, Hunter and North West under which it should not be bought, sold, moved, carried or released.
