Olive Tolley's Upright
Tolley’s Upright, is a cultivar recognized for its compact, upright growth habit. This variety is ideal for gardeners seeking to cultivate olives in smaller spaces or containers, while still enjoying the benefits of homegrown olives.
The leaves of the Olive Tolley’s Upright are narrow and silvery-green, providing an attractive appearance throughout the year. This variety is drought-tolerant once established and thrives in well-drained soils, making it well-suited for Australian climates. Although Olives are self-fertile, all will benefit from having multiple plants to maximise fruit production. All Olives prefer a well draining soil proving adequate moisture during flowering and fruit set. Staking when the plant when young will be beneficial. Fertilise with a high nitrogen fertiliser in autumn and spring
Olive Tolley’s Upright produces small, dark purple to black olives that can be harvested for both table use and oil production with a moderate to high yield. Ideal planting conditions include full sun and protection from harsh winds, enhancing both growth and fruit quality.
As part of the incredible edibles® collection, this olive tree is a worthwhile addition for any home garden enthusiast focused on growing quality fruiting plants.
Olives can be harvested in the late autumn to early winter months once they have reached their desired ripeness. They can be enjoyed fresh, or cured and brined to enhance flavour. Olives are versatile in culinary applications. They can be used in tapenades, salads, or as a flavourful garnish. Additionally, the oil produced from these olives is a staple in Mediterranean dishes and provides health benefits associated with olive oil consumption.
High in anti-oxidants, olive oil reduces bad cholesterol and increases good cholesterol. For oil production pick olives when a good dark colour, for pickling pick when changing from green to greenish-yellow colour.
