A beautiful spreading tree bearing early crops of medium-sized fruit, which can be picked green or black. With the highest flesh-to-pit ratio of all olive varieties, Manzanillo is well suited to stuffing and pickling. A very heavy cropper that out-yielded 14 other varieties in a trial in Mildura by the Department of Agriculture. It is considered by many to be the best dual-purpose variety available. Self-pollinating, but fruits best with Arbequina or Frantoio.
