2PI 104328'Meski'Olea europaea L. TunisiaDAVBRANCHOut of Season1986COLLECTEDPer Hartmann (see citation): "Imported from Tunisia 1949. Meski is reported to be a very good table olive variety with a small pit and a large amount of pulp." Per IOOC (see citation): "This variety is from the northern part of Tunisia. It shows little vigor or hardiness and it has a low rooting ability. It has an intermediate start of bearing and flowers early. It is self-incompatible and it has a high pistil abortion rate. It produces little pollen. The varieties used the most as pollinisers are 'Chetoui', 'Besbessi', and 'Picholine Languedoc'. Productivity is medium and constant. The fruit ripens early. It has a low oil content and it is freestone. It is used for green pickling and as it shows little bitterness it can be preserved without sweetening. It is resistant to salinity, whereas it is sensitive to drought and calcareous soils. It is very susceptible to olive leaf spot. Despite the good quality of the fruit, this variety is not grown very widely because of its self-incompatibility, its low vigor and its susceptibility to olive leaf spot, which hinders its cultivation in high-density orchards. It is moderately resistant to olive knot."1002039PI 104328

124PI 86754'Picholine Marocaine'Olea europaea L. Marrakech-Safi, MoroccoDAVBRANCHOut of Season1930COLLECTED1930Per Hartmann (see citation): "Collected from the USDA Plant Introduction Garden, Chico. PI No. 86754. 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." Per IOOC (see citation): Represents 96% of the total olives in Morocco. There are many similarities with the variety, "Sigoise", grown in Algeria. It has been selected with clones that are well adapted to the soil and climate in Morocco. Hardy, drought resistant and with a medium rooting ability, it is used as a rootstock for "Picholine Languedoc". Bearing and flowering time are intermediate, with partial self-compatiblity and a medium pistil abortion rate and abundant pollen. It is highly and alternately productive and used as a dual purpose olive. As a pickling variety, the freestone fruit is used either as green or ripe, black olives. The oil yield is medium (~20%) and has excellent qualitywith a high oleic acid content. The oil is also resistant to freezing (remaining fluid even at -12 degrees celcius). It is however sensitive to leaf spot. "The tree has a strong vigour and an erect and medium habit and density. The Leaves are elliptic-lanceolate and are flat. The fruit is ovoid, asymmetric with a pointed apex and a truncate base. The nipple is absent and there are many, small lenticels." 1722598PI 86754

141PI 66193Toffahi of EgyptOlea europaea L. California, United StatesDAVBRANCHOut of Season1926COLLECTEDInformation 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 the island of Mytiline, Greece, in 1926. The tree sets good crops regularly. Its characteristics are almost identical with those of Tafahi. The fruit resembles the Tafahi, though it is larger and has a higher ratio of fruit to pit. It matures in late October. The pit is practically identical with that of Tafahi. This variety may have commercial possibilities for processing by the Spanish-green method, as indicated in tests conducted by the Lindsay Ripe Olive Company in 1946 and 1947 and by the Pacific Olive Company in 1948. It does not make a satisfactory product when processed by the black-ripe method because it fails to attain the desirable black color, remaining more of a grayish-brown. The flavor, too, is poor when processed by this method.1003912PI 66193

PI No. 63862. Imported from Italy in 1925. This variety is generally grown in the region of Toscana. The tree is vigorous with a spreading top. It has a tendency toward irregular bearing. The fruit, which matures in December resembles that of Grappolo. The pit is large, uniform, and oblong, with a fairly smooth texture." Per IOOC (see citation): It is vigorous, adaptable and has ahigh rooting ability. It bears early and the flowers have a low pistil abortion rate. Being self-incomptible, it needs pollinisers such as: "Moraiolo", "Pendolino", "Frantoio", "Morchiaio", "gremignolo di Bolgheri", "Piangente", "Razzo", and "Trillo". High and constant productivity, the fruit ripes early and has a low removal force. The oil content is low and it is freestone. It is tolerant of cold, leaf spot, wood rot and olive knot but it is sensitive to sooty mould. "The tree has a stong vigour and a drooping and dense habit and density. The leaves are elliptic-lanceolate and flat. The fruit is ovoid and slightly asymmetricwith a rounded apex and a truncate base. The nipple is absent and there are many, samll lenticels." 1665237PI 63862

Imported from Italy in 1925. The tree bears with good regularity. The fruit grows singly, rarely in twos, on variably sized peduncles. It ripens so unevnly that during December both solid green and black fruits may be observed on the same tree. At maturity in late December, the fruit is bluish-black; whitish lenticels are quite prominent at the last stage of maturity. The shape of the olive is variable--usually elongated oval, often broadly oval or erect, protruding at one side. The base is rounded but occasionally slanted; the apex is bluntly pointed, often rounded; the stem-end cavity is prominent. The pit is large and variable in shape--short, erect, cylindroid, or variably depressed on two sides. Some pits, howevever, are oblong, erect, or slightly curved, cylindroid, or somewhat flat on two sides. The base is usually broad, square, or truncated--rarely rounded or narrow; the apex-half is broader than the base-half and is rounded--rarely tapered--terminating in a small, thin, sharp point. The surface is densely crossed lengthwise by medium-sized--rarely long--continuous or branched, deep furrows; these usually disappear on reaching the middle of the pit. In the apex-half, warty projections appear; the main furrows may be prominent but usually are shallow or obscure in this half. This variety may have some value as a canning olive because of its good size and high oil content but would be difficult to harvest because of its uneven ripening of the fruit." Per IOOC (see citation): "This is a demanding variety with a low rooting ability. It bears early but it flowers late and has a high pistil abortion rate. It can be self-compaible though usually requires pollinisers such as: "Mele", "Sant' Agostino" and "Termite di Bitetto". With medium and alternate productivity, the fruit ripens early with a high removal force. The fruit is large with a flesh to stone ratio of 3 but is tough, fibrous and hard to remove from the pit as it is clingstone. The fuit is used for green pickling in brine as the oil content is low. It is suceptible to leaf spot, olive knot, sooty mold, olive fly and cold sensitive. "The tree has medium vigour with an erect an medium habit and density.

244PI 12684'Meski'Olea europaea L. TunisiaDAVBRANCHOut of Season1905COLLECTED01/09/1905Per Hartmann (see citation): "Imported from Tunisia in 1922. The tree is vigorous and quite tall-about 25 feet-with a prominently spread top. It bears good crops each year. The fruit grows singly, rarely in twos or more, on short to medium-sized peduncles. At maturity the fruit is reddish-black with prominent bloom. On the green fruit, small lenticels are conspicuous but disappear by maturity. This variety ripens very unevenly-an entire branch of green olives and one of black olives can be observed on a tree a the same time. The shape of the olive is ovate, distinctly protruding at one side. The base is narrow, often slanted; the apex-half is much broader than the base-half and is rounded or has a small projection; the stem-end cavity is quite prominent. The surface is rough with two distinct ridges on opposite sides-prominent on the upper half before the final stage of maturity. The pit is medium in size-irregular, oblong, usually erect, and often variably curved. It strongly protrudes at one side being almost flat. The base-half is usually conical, often flat, ending in a narrow or pointed base; the apex-half is broader, terminating in a small sharp point. The surface is crossed longitudinally by a number of medium and long, fairly prominent furrows-mostly branched-the two forming the endocarp being the longest and the most prominent. Several deep cavities of assorted sizes are also present on the upper half of the pit toward the apex. It is unlikely that this variety would become of importance commercially in California because the uneven ripening of the fruit in the different parts of the tree would necessitate harvesting several times during the season." Per IOOC (see citation): "This is one of the oldest known Tunisian cultivars, which is probably why it is seen through most of northern Tunisia where clusters of trees or old, single trees are found. It shows medium hardiness and vigor and it has a low rooting ability. The fruit is suitable for green or black pickling. It is marketed as "Petite Marsaline" and it is also used for oil production. It comes into bearing early and also flowers early. It is partially self-compatible and it has a low pistil abortion rate. It produces a medium amount of pollen. Productivity is medium and alternate. The fruit ripens early; it has a low oil content and it is clingstone. Although it is cultivated without irrigation, it is quite sensitive to drought whereas it is moderately tolerant of salinity and it is resistant to cold. It is highly resistant to olive leaf spot and olive anthracnose and moderately tolerant of olive knot.?" 1526103PI 12684
245PI 12685'Meski'Olea europaea L. California, United StatesDAVBRANCHOut of Season1905COLLECTEDInformation 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 Tunisia in 1905. The tree is of moderate size with an upright growth tendency and dense foliage. It bears good crops in most years. The fruit grows singly, rarely in more than twos, on short- to medium-sized peduncles. Itis black at maturity, in late September, with prominent bloom. The shape of the olive is similar to that of Bidh el Hammam, with the exception of a narrower diameter and an earlier date of maturity. The pit, too, is similar to Bidh el Hammam, though it is slightly longer and has a thicker point at the apex. This variety may have some value as a canning olive.1002374PI 12685

Imported from Spain in 1933. This is not the variety Morcal or Marcaleno described by Fernandez. It may, however, be the same as the Mollar variety grown in Spain, as the fruit descriptions agree. The tree consistently sets good crops of fair-sized fruit, which mature without shriveling under non-irrigated conditions. The fruit grows singly, rarely in twos, on short- to medium-sized peduncles. It ripens unevenly and is reddish-black at maturity, in November. The green fruit is regularly spotted with broad, whitish lenticels that become less pronounced toward maturity and finally disappear. The stigma is persistent. The shape of the olive is variable - usually oval, but may be ovate or elongated and may be somewhat depressed on two sides. The base is usually rounded, often slanted; the apex is rounded; the stem-end cavity is narrow and quite deep. The pit is large, variable in shape, erect, or prominently broad, protruding at one side - usually elongated oval. The base is broad as is the apex, the latter being slightly pointed. The surface is quite rough, especially toward the base. This variety may have possibilities as a pickling olive for non-irrigated conditions.1003142DOLE 123

It is a table olive with fruits reported to be as large as the Sevillano." Per IOOC (see citation): "The origin of this hardy variety is uncertain. It appears to match the 'Arauco' variety of Argentina and the 'Sevillana' of Peru. It has a medium rooting ability and it comes into bearing early. It is partially self-compatible. Its time of flowering is intermediate and it produces abundant pollen. The fruit ripens late. Its productivity is medium and alternate and it is affected by exogenous factors such as El Nino, which heightens alternate bearing. It has a low oil content and it is clingstone. It is used for green or black pickling although it can also be considered dual-purpose. It is very resistant to drought and salinity." 1003248DOLE 129

EgyptDAVBRANCHOut of Season1987COLLECTEDInformation 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 at the Citrus Experiment Station, Riverside. Imported from Giza, Egypt, in 1940, by Professor W. V. Cruess. Experimental grafts of this variety have since been made in the major olive sections of California. The tree has borne good crops consistently at Riverside and Lindsay. The fruit is grown singly, often in twos or threes, on short to medium-sized peduncles. At maturity in October it is reddish-black. The fruits color evenly. The shape of the olive is round or oval, strongly protruding at one side, with a typical, pointed projection at the apex. The base is variably slanted or rounded; stem-end cavity is small and shallow. The pit is of medium size, irregular, oblong, erect, protruding at one side. The base is variable - conical, narrow, or rounded; the apex is rounded, ending in a very long, thin, sharp point. This point is easily broken and can be observed only if the pit is carefully removed from the olive. The surface is crossed lengthwise by numerous branched, deep furrows - more prominent at the base-half and toward the sides. The two furrows forming the endocarp are not prominent. Occasional cavities can be found. This variety can be pickled satisfactorily by the Spanish-green process. Cruess has shown this variety to ferment and soften during ripe pickling, but with care, a firm, ripe-pickled fruit was obtained.1003283DOLE 131

Imported from Italy in 1925. The tree has a vigorous growth habit, with widely spread top, dense foliage, and large, broad leaves. It has a tendency toward irregular bearing. The fruit is usually born in clusters of two to seven. It starts coloring by November 15 and at maturity is reddish-black. The shape of the olive is elongated-oval, with a slight protrusion at one side. The base is round or slanted; the apex is slightly pointed, sometimes round, and often broader than the base, especially in the plump fruits.

Imported from Mustafa, Algeria, in 1905 by the USDA Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction. The tree is about 20 feet tall with a spreading top, drooping terminals, and dense foliage. It has a strong alternate-bearing tendency. The fruit grows singly, rarely in twos or more, on short- to medium-sized peduncles. It ripens rather unevenly, becoming bluish-black at maturity in November. The bloom is fairly prominent. The shape of the olive is variable, usually resembling that of Bidh el Hamman. Some fruits - longer than others - have a narrower cross-diameter and a somewhat depressed base-half, giving the base a truncated appearance. The stem-end cavity is fairly prominent. The pit is large and variable is shape - predominantly oblong, erect, and protruding at one side. The base-half is usually cylindroconical, with narrow or pointed base. The apex-half is much broader, somewhat cylindroid, and rounded, ending in a medium-sized, sharp, straight, or slightly curved point. The surface is rough with furrows and cavities similar to those on the Bidh el Hammam. This variety would be of little value as a canning olive because of its alternate-bearing tendency.1003422DOLE 139
359DOLE 140'Mission'Olea europaea L. California, United StatesDAVBRANCHOut of Season1987DONATEDPer Hartmann (see citation): "Mission was introduced into California by seeds brought from San Blas, Mexico, in 1769, and planted at Mission San Diego by Junipero Serra and by Don Jose de Galves. . . The Mission tree has a definite upright tendency, very old trees often reaching a height of 40-50 feet. To make harvesting easier, most growers keep the trees topped. Mission is the only major variety whose susceptibility to peacock spot (Cycloconium oleaginum) is of commercial importance. It is comparatively resistant to olive knot (Bacterium savasanoi). . .Varieties differ markedly in respect to alternate or irregular bearing. Many Mission orchards bear crops only in alternate years or even once in every three or four year, despite good cultural practices-including irrigation and nitrogen fertilization. Some orchards, however, produce good crops every year. All of the commercial olive varieties blossom at nearly the same dates. Temperature and other climatic conditions cause fluctuations in blooming dates in different parts of the state. The range of full bloom is from May 1 to May 25 in most years . . . Missions are late maturing, usually in November-later than other commonly grown varieties. In some seasons, frost injury causes shriveling before the fruit reaches the proper stage for pickling. This variety, however, contains sufficient oil so that the frost-damaged fruits may be left on the trees until they become black. They can then be harvested for oil extraction any time between December 15 and March 1. The average yield of approximately 150 acres in Tulare County was 3.7 tons per acre for the ten-year period 1936-1946. The maximum rate was 7.5 tons per acre in 1940, and the minimum was 1.0 in 1945. . . Mission is relatively easy to handle during processing and results in a product of high quality and uniformity. It is used in the production of black-ripe and green-ripe olives and for the Greek style, salt-cure process. An appreciable percentage of the crop is used for oil extraction. . . Expressed as a percentage of the fresh weight, it averages 20 to 24 per cent, differing somewhat according to locality and perhaps with strains in the variety. Missions are uniformly high in quality, but are handicapped by their size . . . Several strains of Mission are widespread in California. Each differs from the other, however, chiefly in fruit characteristics." Per IOOC (see citation): "This variety is considered hardy because of its resistance to cold. It has a medium rooting ability. It is one of the most important table varieties cultivated in California although it was of much greater importance in the past, when it accounted for over 50% of Californian table olive production. Its start of bearing is intermediate. It flowers in late May. It is self-compatible and it has a medium pistil abortion rate. Productivity is medium and alternate. Ripening is late. It is prized as a dual-purpose variety, being used for green and black pickling and for oil production. When mature, the fruit has an oil content of about 22%. The oil is good quality, especially that produced in Butte county (Sacramento valley). Time of harvesting depends on the end use of the fruit (table or oil). The fruit has a medium removal force and it is freestone. The erect growth habit of the tree facilitates mechanical harvesting. It is considered sensitive to olive leaf spot and verticillium wilt but it is resistant to olive knot."1003424DOLE 140

Imported from Spain about 1885, and now an established variety in California. The tree is vigorous with spreading top. It has a slight tendency toward alternate bearing. The fruit grows singly or in clusters on variably sized peduncles - usually medium to large. At maturity, in October, the color shining velvet-black and the lenticels are obscure. The green stage of the fruit is followed by a yellowish-green one, which lasts a short time; the final stage of maturity commences at the apex-end with a reddish-purple shade and extends to the base-end; lenticels are prominent at this stage. The shape of the olive is elongated-oval, slightly protruding at one side or slightly curved. The center is broadest; the base is narrow and rather slanted; and the apex usually tapers and is somewhat pointed; The pit is medium in size and oblong, variably curved, somewhat twisted, or cylindroid, with one side slightly flat. The base is narrow and often pointed; the apex tapers, ending in a long, thick, sharp point - curved or straight. The surface is fairly smooth, crossed longitudinally by numerous very long, branched, and shallow furrows, extending to the apex end of the pit.

Imported from Pescia, Italy in 1925. The tree at Riverside originated from scions obtained from the USDA Plant Introduction Garden at Chico. The tree at Chico is vigorous and has an upright growth tendency with small, somewhat lanceolate foliage. It bears heavy crops each year; the graft at Riverside bears fruit consistently. The fruit is borne isolated or in clusters on short- to medium -sized peduncles. It matures early - in October - becoming a bluish-black. The shape of the olive is like that of a small Mission - oval, oblique, and with slightly pointed apex. The pit is fairly large, oblong - cylindroid, almost erect. The base is rounded and often narrow; the broad, curved apex terminates in a medium-sized, fairly thick, very sharp point. The surface is densely covered with long furrows - mostly branched - running lengthwise. These are more prominent on the base-half. This variety would be of value only as an oil olive because of its small size; the oil content, however, is not very high.1003487DOLE 143

Imported from Adelaide, South Australia in 1920. The tree is moderate in size, with a spreading top and narrow leaves. It bears fairly heavy crops in most years. The fruit is borne singly, often in twos on short peduncles. It matures in November. The ripe fruit is reddish-black with a prominent bloom. It has a true straw-color stage, at which time it is a light yellowish-green. The color change begins at the apex, attaining a red shade with prominent yellowish-green lenticels; these almost disappear at final maturity. The shape of the olive resembles that of an oval Mission - erect, slightly depressed at two of the sides, with prominent ridges on each of the other sides. The base is usually broad, rounded, often slanted; the apex is round; the stem-end cavity is prominent. The pit is medium in size and uniform in shape - erect, much shorter than that of a plump Mission, which it resemebles somewhat, except that it is prominently depressed at two opposite sides. It is broad, being widest at the center. The base is rounded, rarely square or narrow; the apex tapers slightly, is fairly broad and rather flat on the two sides toward the end, terminating in a very short, thick point. The surface is crossed longitudinally with numerous long, well-branched, fairly smooth furrows; these are, however, more prominent at the sids paralleling the main ones that form the halves of the endocarp and extend over the whole surface of the apex-half. In the center of the base-half there is usually a smooth zone running longitudinally. This variety has fruit too small for commercial pickling in California.

Imported from Dalmatia about 1892. It is grown at the present time in Yugoslavia. Very few trees are now found in California. The tree is medium in size with prominently spreading top; the upper terminal shoots have an upright growth tendency. It bears good crops in most years. The fruit sets singly or in clusters on variably sized peduncles. At maturity in November, the fruit is reddish-black. Small lenticels are conspicuous early in the season but are almost obscure at time of maturity. The shape of the olive is irregularly ovate, usually slightly curved. The base-half is narrow with a tendency to become pointed; the apex-half is much wider than the base-half, distinctly protruding at one side and somewhat rounded or bluntly pointed at the end; the stem-end cavity is deep and prominent.

CyprusDAVBRANCHOut of Season1987COLLECTEDInformation on this variety from Bulletin 720, Olive Varieties in California, by Hartman and Papaioannou, California Agricultural Experiment Station, University of California, Berkeley, February 1951: Sevillano derives its name from Sevilla, the province in Spain where it originated. It is grown there in large quantities, which are exported as Spanish-green fermented olives. This variety is also grown commercially in France, Palestine, Argentina, Portugal, Algeria, Chile, and Australia. Sevillano was brought into California about 1885. When the emphasis of the California olive industry shifted in 1910 from oil to pickling, this variety was widely used in top-working trees of the small-fruited oil types, especially in the Corning area. Mature Sevillano trees vary considerably in size. With favorable soil and climatic conditions, they often attain a height of 25 to 35 feet. In poor soil, they remain quite small. Because their tendency is to spread rather than to grow upright, harvesting is relatively easy. Unlike other commercial varieties, Sevillano fails to root satisfactorily from cuttings. It is usually propagated by grafting onto seedlings of other varieties. Soft-wood cuttings, however, have been grown successfully when treated with certain root promoting substances. Although Sevillano is resistant to peacock spot, it is quite susceptible to olive knot. This variety is susceptible also to three other diseases ("soft nose," "split pit," and "shotberry"). Sevillano bears somewhat erratically in California. It is not as dependable in setting regular crops as either Manzanillo or Barouni. Harvest is generally from mid to late October - after Ascolano, Barouni, and Manzanillo, but before Mission.

DAVBRANCHOut of Season1987DONATED07/31/1987Information on this variety from Bulletin 720, Olive Varieties in California, by Hartman and Papaioannou, California Agricultural Experiment Station, University of California, Berkeley, February 1951: One of the standard table olives in Tunisia, North Africa, Barouni was introduced into California in 1905 by the USDA Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction. Other olive-producing countries do not grow it extensively. It is the most recent variety to be planted on a commercial scale in California. It was widely planted throughout the state, particularly in Butte County, about 1920 and 1925. A typical Barouni tree is medium in size - 15 to 25 feet tall - with a moderately spreading top. Barouni is somewhat more susceptible to olive knot than the Mission. It is more resistant to peacock spot than the Mission. The most noteworthy feature of Barouni is its tendency to bear satisfactory crops each year. It is probably the most consistent bearer of all the commerical varieties grown in California. Barouni fruits are usually harvested in October or early November, about the same time as Manzanillo, but after Ascolano and before Sevillano and Mission. This variety is difficult to process satisfactorily. An appreciable quantitiy, however, is canned ripe. A large percentage (500 to 700 tons) is shipped fresh to eastern cities, for home-processing. Barouni is of doubtful value for the Spanish-green process because of the reddish color that sometimes develops near the pit and of its tough and woody texture after processing. Because of its relatively low oil content - 13 to 18 per cent - it is of very little value for oil extraction. The fruit is borne singly or rarely in twos, on medium-sized peduncles. Early in the stage of final maturity, the exposed side of the fruit turns reddish-purple. The color at maturity is reddish-black. (See Bulletin 720 for additional information)1002925DOLE 111

Historic1987DONATED07/31/1987Information on this variety from Bulletin 720, Olive Varieties in California, by Hartman and Papaioannou, California Agricultural Experiment Station, University of California, Berkeley, February 1951: One of the standard table olives in Tunisia, North Africa, Barouni was introduced into California in 1905 by the USDA Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction. Other olive-producing countries do not grow it extensively. It is the most recent variety to be planted on a commercial scale in California. It was widely planted throughout the state, particularly in Butte County, about 1920 and 1925. A typical Barouni tree is medium in size - 15 to 25 feet tall - with a moderately spreading top. Barouni is somewhat more susceptible to olive knot than the Mission. It is more resistant to peacock spot than the Mission. The most noteworthy feature of Barouni is its tendency to bear satisfactory crops each year. It is probably the most consistent bearer of all the commerical varieties grown in California. Barouni fruits are usually harvested in October or early November, about the same time as Manzanillo, but after Ascolano and before Sevillano and Mission. This variety is difficult to process satisfactorily. An appreciable quantitiy, however, is canned ripe. A large percentage (500 to 700 tons) is shipped fresh to eastern cities, for home-processing. Barouni is of doubtful value for the Spanish-green process because of the reddish color that sometimes develops near the pit and of its tough and woody texture after processing. Because of its relatively low oil content - 13 to 18 per cent - it is of very little value for oil extraction. The fruit is borne singly or rarely in twos, on medium-sized peduncles. Early in the stage of final maturity, the exposed side of the fruit turns reddish-purple. The color at maturity is reddish-black. (See Bulletin 720 for additional information)1003035DOLE 117

Imported from France about 1890. The tree is of medium size with a spreading top. It bears good crops regularly. The fruit grows singly or in clusters and matures in November - becoming bluish-black. During maturation, the color change begins at the apex-end, attaining a reddish-purple shade. Lenticels are conspicuous at the green stage, but are obscure on the ripe fruit. The shape of the olive is similar to that of Barouni - oval to elongated-oval, slightly protruding at one side. The base is broad, rounded, or somewhat truncated, and often slanted. The apex-half is wider than the base-half, rounded or slightly pointed. The stem-end cavity is deep and prominent. The pit is large and oblong, cylindroid, or variably curved at the apex-end, often with the apex-half wider. It has much the same appearance as Barouni.

California, United StatesDAVBRANCHOut of Season1986COLLECTEDPer Hartmann (see citation): "Mission was introduced into California by seeds brought from San Blas, Mexico, in 1769, and planted at Mission San Diego by Junipero Serra and by Don Jose de Galves. . . The Mission tree has a definite upright tendency, very old trees often reaching a height of 40-50 feet. To make harvesting easier, most growers keep the trees topped. Mission is the only major variety whose susceptibility to peacock spot (Cycloconium oleaginum) is of commercial importance. It is comparatively resistant to olive knot (Bacterium savasanoi). . .Varieties differ markedly in respect to alternate or irregular bearing. Many Mission orchards bear crops only in alternate years or even once in every three or four year, despite good cultural practices-including irrigation and nitrogen fertilization. Some orchards, however, produce good crops every year. All of the commercial olive varieties blossom at nearly the same dates. Temperature and other climatic conditions cause fluctuations in blooming dates in different parts of the state. The range of full bloom is from May 1 to May 25 in most years . . . Missions are late maturing, usually in November-later than other commonly grown varieties. In some seasons, frost injury causes shriveling before the fruit reaches the proper stage for pickling. This variety, however, contains sufficient oil so that the frost-damaged fruits may be left on the trees until they become black. They can then be harvested for oil extraction any time between December 15 and March 1. The average yield of approximately 150 acres in Tulare County was 3.7 tons per acre for the ten-year period 1936-1946. The maximum rate was 7.5 tons per acre in 1940, and the minimum was 1.0 in 1945. . . Mission is relatively easy to handle during processing and results in a product of high quality and uniformity. It is used in the production of black-ripe and green-ripe olives and for the Greek style, salt-cure process. An appreciable percentage of the crop is used for oil extraction. . . Expressed as a percentage of the fresh weight, it averages 20 to 24 per cent, differing somewhat according to locality and perhaps with strains in the variety. Missions are uniformly high in quality, but are handicapped by their size . . . Several strains of Mission are widespread in California. Each differs from the other, however, chiefly in fruit characteristics." Per IOOC (see citation): "This variety is considered hardy because of its resistance to cold. It has a medium rooting ability. It is one of the most important table varieties cultivated in California although it was of much greater importance in the past, when it accounted for over 50% of Californian table olive production. Its start of bearing is intermediate. It flowers in late May. It is self-compatible and it has a medium pistil abortion rate. Productivity is medium and alternate. Ripening is late. It is prized as a dual-purpose variety, being used for green and black pickling and for oil production. When mature, the fruit has an oil content of about 22%. The oil is good quality, especially that produced in Butte county (Sacramento valley). Time of harvesting depends on the end use of the fruit (table or oil). The fruit has a medium removal force and it is freestone. The erect growth habit of the tree facilitates mechanical harvesting. It is considered sensitive to olive leaf spot and verticillium wilt but it is resistant to olive knot." 1000533DOLE 14

SpainDAVBRANCHOut of Season1986COLLECTEDInformation on this variety from Bulletin 720, Olive Varieties in California, by Hartman and Papaioannou, California Agricultural Experiment Station, University of California, Berkeley, February 1951: Manzanillo is a native of Spain, where for many years it has been grown as one of the leading table varieties. Large quantities are now grown and processed there in brine for export as fermented-green olives. This variety can also be found in Portugal, France, Italy, Palestine, Australia, Argentina, and Chile. In 1875 it was brought to California from Spain and was soon found to be one of the best varieties imported from the Mediterranean countries about that time. Typically, Manzanillo trees are about 15 to 30 feet tall at maturity and if not crowded, have a spreading habit of growth. Manzanillo is more susceptible to olive knot than Mission, but less so than Sevillano. It is quite resistant to peacock spot. It is just as susceptible to attacks by the scale insects as the other major varieties. Its tendency toward regular bearing is one of the most important advantages of Manzanillo. It is probably the most regular bearer of all the commercial varieties except Barouni. The fruit usually matures in October or early November - sufficiently early to permit harvesting for pickling before danger of frost. The harvest generally follows that of Ascolano but precedes that of Sevillano and Mission. This variety is adaptable to several processing methods. The fruit is normally borne singly - rarely in twos or threes - on variably sized (short or long) peduncles. It is medium in size, tough in texture, and uniform in shape - a slight or broad oval. The base is round or hollow, often slightly depressed on two sides; the stem-end cavity is prominent, and the apex round. The surface is spotted regularly with tiny, whitish lenticels. These become less pronounced towards maturity, when the fruit becomes velvet-black. (See Bulletin 720 for more information).1001608DOLE 49

Imported from Spain about 1885, and now an established variety in California. The tree is vigorous with spreading top. It has a slight tendency toward alternate bearing. The fruit grows singly or in clusters on variably sized peduncles - usually medium to large. At maturity, in October, the color is shining velvet-black and the lenticels are obscure. The green stage of the fruit is followed by a yellowish-green one, which lasts a short time; the final stage of maturity commences at the apex-end with a reddish-purple shade and extends to the base-end; lenticels are prominent at this stage. The shape of the olive is elongated-oval, slightly protruding at one side or slightly curved. The center is broadest; the base is narrow and rather slanted; and the apex usually tapers and is somewhat pointed. The pit is medium in size and oblong, variably curved, somewhat twisted, or cylindroid, with one side slightly flat. The base is narrow and often pointed; the apex tapers, ending in a long, thick, sharp point - curved or straight. The surface is fairly smooth, crossed longitudinally by numerous very long, branched, and shallow furrows, extending to the apex end of the pit.

Manzanillo is more susceptible to olive knot than Mission, but less so than Sevillano. It is quite resistant to peacock spot. It is just as susceptible to attacks by the scale insects as the other major varieties. Its tendency toward regular bearing is one of the most important advantages of Manzanillo. It is probably the most regular bearer of all the commercial varieties except Barouni. The fruit usually matures in October or early November - sufficiently early to permit harvesting for pickling before danger of frost. The harvest generally follows that of Ascolano but precedes that of Sevillano and Mission. This variety is adaptable to several processing methods. The fruit is normally borne singly - rarely in twos or threes - on variably sized (short or long) peduncles. It is medium in size, tough in texture, and uniform in shape - a slight or broad oval. The base is round or hollow, often slightly depressed on two sides; the stem-end cavity is prominent, and the apex round. The surface is spotted regularly with tiny, whitish lenticels. These become less pronounced towards maturity, when the fruit becomes velvet-black. (See Bulletin 720 for more information).1002243DOLE 77

MoroccoDAVBRANCHOut of Season1986COLLECTEDInformation 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 Italy in 1925. The tree is vigorous, with an upright tendency of growth and large, broad leaves. It bears fairly heavy crops most years but occasionally fails to set fruit. The fruit grows singly or in clusters on variably sized peduncles. It matures in November, becoming a reddish-black with prominent bloom and obscure lenticels. The shape of the olive is oblong and narrow, erect, and often slightly curved, protruding at one side. The base-half is somewhat conical, narrow at the end, often slanted; the apex-half is broader, tapering, and bluntly pointed, or has small pointed projection set laterally on the opposite side of the protrusion. The stem-end cavity is moderate in size. The surface is rather rough. The pit is large, oblong-cylindroid, erect or slightly curved, or with the apex-half wider than the base-half. The base-half is usually cylindroconical, narrow at the end; the apex is fairly broad toward the end, terminating in a thick, sharp point - straight or curved. The surface is fairly smooth, crossed lengthwise by numerous long, shallow, branched furrows - barely visible at the apex end. This variety is rather small for pickling; it may, however, have some value for oil.1002375DOLE 84

California, United StatesDAVBRANCHOut of Season1986COLLECTEDInformation on this variety from Bulletin 720, Olive Varieties in California, by Hartman and Papaioannou, California Agricultural Experiment Station, University of California, Berkeley, February 1951: Ascolano was brought into California from Italy about 1885. It is one of the standard Italian pickling olives, though it is not widely planted in any other olive-producing countries except Argentina. Mature trees attain a height of 20 to 30 feet. They are not especially upright in growth habit; when uncrowded, they develop into a symmetiric round shape. Ascolano is more susceptible to olive knot than Mission, but is probably less so than Sevillano. This variety is not as dependable in setting regular crops as Barouni. Young trees bear fairly regularly, but older ones tend toward alternate or irregular bearing. In most years the fruits mature rapidly and are ready for harvest between mid-September and the first of October - earlier than all of the other commercial olives. They require special effort in both harvesting and processing to avoid bruising. Ascolano is well suited for canned ripe olives. It is not adapted to green pickling, because "salt shrivel" is severe during fermentation and the fruits become almost white after fermentation. Occasionally this variety is used for oil extraction.1002456DOLE 88

Imported from North Africa, this variety has several strains. It is widely grown in Tunisia and is common use for oil in Algeria. The tree usually bears heavy crops in alternate years. The fruit is borne in clusters on long peduncles and ripens unevely. In early December it changes color immediately from green to bluish-pink, becoming black at maturity, about December 15. The "straw-color" stage is sledom evident. The shape of the olive is oblong or ovoid, with a slight protrusion at one side. The base is narrow - often slanted at one end; the apex is usually rounded. The surface of the fruit may be smooth but occasionally has small wart-like projections. On the green fruit, lenticels are present but inconspicuous, becoming prominent at the pink semiripe stage. The pit is erect and oblong, protruding at one side. The base-half is wider than the apex-half. Both taper to a point, that at the apex being smaller and sharper. The surface is covered with numerous long, shallow, and branching furrows.1002495DOLE 89

Imported from France about 1880. The tree is medium in size - about 15 feet tall - and has a definite upright growth habit. It is outstanding for its regular bearing. The fruit grows singly or in clusters on variably sized peduncles. This variety at Davis blooms unusually late - in June - and matures in November, at which time the color is shining velvet-black and the lenticels obscure. The shape of the olive is broadly oval. The base is broad, rounded, or hollow, often slanted; the stem-end cavity varies in size and is often prominent; the apex is rounded. The pit is large and uniform - ovoid, erect, and slightly protruding at one side. Both the base and apex are broad - the former somewhat truncated, often slanted, the latter round, ending in a small, straight, or slightly curved point. The surface is fairly smooth, crossed length-wise with long, shallow, branched furrows.1002649DOLE 97
463DOLE 99'Mission'Olea europaea L. DAVBRANCHOut of Season1986DONATED07/22/1986Per Hartmann (see citation): "Mission was introduced into California by seeds brought from San Blas, Mexico, in 1769, and planted at Mission San Diego by Junipero Serra and by Don Jose de Galves. . . The Mission tree has a definite upright tendency, very old trees often reaching a height of 40-50 feet. To make harvesting easier, most growers keep the trees topped. Mission is the only major variety whose susceptibility to peacock spot (Cycloconium oleaginum) is of commercial importance. It is comparatively resistant to olive knot (Bacterium savasanoi). . .Varieties differ markedly in respect to alternate or irregular bearing. Many Mission orchards bear crops only in alternate years or even once in every three or four year, despite good cultural practices-including irrigation and nitrogen fertilization. Some orchards, however, produce good crops every year. All of the commercial olive varieties blossom at nearly the same dates. Temperature and other climatic conditions cause fluctuations in blooming dates in different parts of the state. The range of full bloom is from May 1 to May 25 in most years . . . Missions are late maturing, usually in November-later than other commonly grown varieties. In some seasons, frost injury causes shriveling before the fruit reaches the proper stage for pickling. This variety, however, contains sufficient oil so that the frost-damaged fruits may be left on the trees until they become black. They can then be harvested for oil extraction any time between December 15 and March 1. The average yield of approximately 150 acres in Tulare County was 3.7 tons per acre for the ten-year period 1936-1946. The maximum rate was 7.5 tons per acre in 1940, and the minimum was 1.0 in 1945. . . Mission is relatively easy to handle during processing and results in a product of high quality and uniformity. It is used in the production of black-ripe and green-ripe olives and for the Greek style, salt-cure process. An appreciable percentage of the crop is used for oil extraction. . . Expressed as a percentage of the fresh weight, it averages 20 to 24 per cent, differing somewhat according to locality and perhaps with strains in the variety. Missions are uniformly high in quality, but are handicapped by their size . . . Several strains of Mission are widespread in California. Each differs from the other, however, chiefly in fruit characteristics." Per IOOC (see citation): "This variety is considered hardy because of its resistance to cold. It has a medium rooting ability. It is one of the most important table varieties cultivated in California although it was of much greater importance in the past, when it accounted for over 50% of Californian table olive production. Its start of bearing is intermediate. It flowers in late May. It is self-compatible and it has a medium pistil abortion rate. Productivity is medium and alternate. Ripening is late. It is prized as a dual-purpose variety, being used for green and black pickling and for oil production. When mature, the fruit has an oil content of about 22%. The oil is good quality, especially that produced in Butte county (Sacramento valley). Time of harvesting depends on the end use of the fruit (table or oil). The fruit has a medium removal force and it is freestone. The erect growth habit of the tree facilitates mechanical harvesting. It is considered sensitive to olive leaf spot and verticillium wilt but it is resistant to olive knot." 1002685DOLE 99
