Olive trees, also known as 'Olea europaea,' are one of the oldest and foremost vital fruit trees in history. Fruit tree culture has been closely connected to the increase and fall of Mediterranean empires, as well as different advanced civilizations throughout the ages.
There are thousands of different types of olive trees in the world, but to list them all would be impossible. Below are some of the more popular and well known types of olives and olive trees.
Arbequina Olives: This type of olive is from the Catalonia region of Spain, and is a small olive (relatively speaking, since most olives are "small") with a light to dark brown color. The popularity of this olive is mostly due to it having a distinct "nutty" flavor.
Arbosana Olives: Arbosana Olive trees begin manufacturing olives in 2 years, and reach full maturity in 5 years. These olives are also tiny, however, they provide a decent oil yield of nineteen to twenty percent. The oil contains a pungent, fruity flavor and is typically blended into oils from different olives to enhance their style and aroma. These trees are often planted with an absurd density in orchards. Arbosana fruit trees are currently being tried in California (This began in 2004). The reasoning behind these new Olive farms is so California producers can begin manufacturing olive oils that will contend with European oils both in price and quality.
Olive trees can greatly vary in their looks and may have weeping branches or long and narrow leaves. These trees can also be dwarfed to form fine bonsai indoor plants or can be included in gardens for beautification.
