Olive J5

Olive J5 is a New Zealand selection requiring low chill suitable for all regions. Heavy yield of medium oval sized fruit and is an early season variety. Larger sized tree.

Although Olives are self-fertile, all will benefit from having multiple plants to maximise fruit production.

Harvest - Olives for oil production are harvested when black, but for pickling, some varieties are picked when changing from green to greenish yellow, and others are picked when turning black. J5 is suitable for pickling but black fruit will yield oil.
