Abstract
This new invention of an olive tree is characterized by its similarity to the ‘Arbequina Standard’ from which it is a clonal selection (naturally occurring mutation) from which it is distinguished by higher productivity, larger fruit size, better pulp to stone ratio, higher oil yield, and better oil quality. The plants are ideally suited for mechanical harvesting and high density planting. The fruit matures in northern California during the first week of October.
Description
Olive tree: (Olea europaea).
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of olive plant, Olea europaea, and will hereafter be denominated varietally as ‘Arbequina OLINT’ and more particularly to an olive plant that produces fruit for harvest during the first week of October in the Gridley area of the northern Sacramento Valley in California and which is further distinguished as to novelty by producing a fruit with higher productivity than the parent ‘Arbequina Standard’ variety from which it is a clonal selection (naturally occurring mutation). The maturing date in Northern California is different than in Spain but is materially the same with better oil quality.
The ‘Arbequina OLINT’ was originally selected from 110 individual trees from olive orchards across Spain for possessing superior traits in 1986. Four years later, fifteen (15) advanced further selections were made that possessed superior production and uniformity in ripening. Two years later, these advanced selections were propagated vegetatively (asexually reproduced) and placed in replicated trials. In 1997, the new variety evaluation provided the information on its superior traits over the ‘Arbequina Standard.’ The new invention was imported into Oregon, USA where it was grown and then vegetatively propagated by rooted cuttings and shipped to Gridley, Calif. in 2001. Over the past three years propagational trees were provided as rooted cuttings. The trees are stable and reproduce true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction. The fruit produced by these vegetatively propagated trees are in all respects identical to the parent.
This new variety of olive tree is characterized by having the general characteristics of the ‘Arbequina Standard’ variety with several differences including: semi-erect tree (rather than open), a different branching pattern in which the branching occurs higher up on the trunk, is more upright, and promotes higher production, fruit has smaller pits, higher oil content and larger fruit. Due to the semi-erect structure and size of this olive tree, it is well suited for mechanical harvesting and high density planting (i.e., 670 plants/acre).
Referring more specifically to the horticultural details of the new and distinct variety of olive trees, the following descriptions have been observed in 5-year old trees under the ecological details prevailing at the site of origin which is located near Gridley, Calif. in the Sacramento Valley of Northern California.
