A trial planting was established at MossGrove in 2000. The initial planting consisted of twenty plants each of :
♦ Frantoio (Tuscany), ♦ Manzanillo (Spain), and ♦ Kalamon (Greece).
After a 5 year trial the Frantoio have proven to be best suited to our cool, wet climate.
Pest and diseases are limited to Olive Lace Bug and Peacock Spot, respectively.
