Evergreen shrubby tree. The sweet, spicy Leccino olive is grown primarily for oil. The fruity flavor features hints of cinnamon with little bitterness. This early black Tuscan variety is far more cold tolerant than Frantoio. The vigorous Leccino tree exhibits a dense, slightly weeping growth habit and good general disease resistance. The Leccino variety requires a pollenizer such as Pendolino or Frantoio. Low water needs once established.
