Cultivar: Saiali Magloue (origin - Tunisia)

DNA match with DOLE15 (Bidh El Hammam) and DOLE68 (Meski).

 

“Information on this variety from Bulletin 720, Olive Varieties in California, by Hartman and Papaioannou, California Agricultural Experiment Station, University of California, Berkeley, February 1951: Collected from the USDA Plant Introduction Garden, Chico. Imported from Tunisia in 1905. The tree is of moderate size with an upright growth tendency and dense foliage. It bears good crops in most years. The fruit grows singly, rarely in more than twos, on short- to medium-sized peduncles. It is black at maturity, in late September, with prominent bloom. The shape of the olive is similar to that of Bidh el Hammam, with the exception of a narrower diameter and an earlier date of maturity. The pit, too, is similar to Bidh el Hammam, though it is slightly longer and has a thicker point at the apex. This variety may have some value as a canning olive.”
