Olive El Greco is grown for its high yields of quality fruit. It carries large fruit that are often squeezed to produce an oil with a distinct, fruity aroma. The fruit are dark purple-black when mature in autumn and originate from white-cream flowers borne in summer. The foliage comprises grey-green leaves which are held on rigid branches as it grows to 2.5 m tall and the same wide. The El Greco Olive tree is one of the more popular varieties and is often grown for fruit production. This olive also makes for an impressive specimen tree and is useful for screening, using as a windbreak, or being trimming either into a hedge or for topiary.
