Olea europaea 'Correggiola', commonly known as the 'Correggiola' Olive Tree, is a cultivar of the traditional olive tree, highly prized for both its ornamental and agricultural value. Originating from the Mediterranean region, this variety is specifically revered for its high-quality olives, which are excellent for oil production.

Common Name: 'Correggiola' Olive Tree
Mature Height (meters): Typically grows to about 4-6 meters
Mature Width (meters): Approximately 3-4 meters
Spacing: Plant at least 3-4 meters apart from other trees or structures to ensure adequate growth and air circulation.
Foliage: The 'Correggiola' Olive Tree is characterized by its narrow, silvery-green leaves that are a classic feature of olive trees. The foliage is dense and evergreen, providing year-round interest.
Flowering Period: It produces small, creamy-white flowers in spring, which are subtle but play a crucial role in olive production.
Fruit: This cultivar is esteemed for its small to medium-sized olives, which are known for their high oil content and excellent quality. The olives typically ripen in late autumn and are often used for producing high-quality olive oil.
Form/Habit: Olea europaea 'Correggiola' has a rounded, open canopy with a somewhat gnarled and picturesque trunk as it matures, giving it a distinct Mediterranean look.

Dig a hole slightly larger than the 40cm pot.
Gently remove the tree from the pot, being careful not to disturb the root ball excessively.
Place the tree in the hole, ensuring it is at the correct depth.

Watering Requirements After Planting

When you plant a new tree, it's crucial to give it the right start by ensuring it receives sufficient water. Here’s a general guideline for watering your newly planted tree:

Immediately After Planting: Water your tree generously right after planting your Olea europaea 'Correggiola' Olive to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate any air pockets.
First Three Months: The initial three months are critical for the establishment of the tree. During this period, the tree should be hand watered twice daily, in the morning and evening. This helps the roots grow deep and strong.
Irrigation System: If you have an irrigation system, adjust it to ensure the tree gets adequate water during these first months.
Adjusting to Weather Conditions: Always consider the weather conditions and adjust your watering accordingly. In hotter and drier periods, additional watering may be necessary.

Consistent attention to your tree’s watering needs during this initial period will help ensure its healthy growth and long-term success in your garden.
