Narrative

Information on this variety from Bulletin 720, Olive Varieties in California, by Hartman and Papaioannou, California Agricultural Experiment Station, University of California, Berkeley, February 1951: Collected from the USDA Plant Introduction Garden, Chico. Imported from Marrakech, French Morocco in 1930, where it is the most commonly grown pickling variety. The tree resembles Mission 26A except for minor differences. It bears fairly good crops. The fruit is borne isolated, often in twos or threes, on medium to fairly long peduncles. The color at maturity, in November, is velvet-black with quite prominent, small, brownish lenticels. The shape of the olive is very similar to that of Mission 26B. The pit is rather large, uniform in shape--somewhat cylindroid, usually with a broad base. This variety may be of value as a canning olive.
