Abstract
This new invention of an olive plant is characterized by its similarity to the ‘Koroneiki Standard’ (unpatented) from the island of Crete (Greece) from which it is a clonal selection, but is distinguished therefrom by producing a very small fruit early in the age of the tree (3rd leaf), better vigor, and higher productivity. The plants are ideally suited for olive oil production, mechanical harvesting and high density planting. The fruit matures in northern California during the third week of October.
