The Frantoio boasts a stunningly dark, oval-shaped olive, which ripens at mid-season with a one-of-a-kind flavor you’ll love. And since this Frantoio is grown in the Golden State, specifically for California homes, it's a proven performer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlus, the Frantoio is one of the most versatile trees on the market.\u003c\/strong\u003e Planted in the ground, Frantoio Olive Trees reach 25 to 30 feet in height, but when they’re container-planted, they last season after season and stay a smaller, more manageable size (especially with judicial pruning). And though they perform best with a pollinator or partner tree for more fruit, Frantoios are self-compatible for producing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell, for starters, you’ll get home-grown olives without the hassle.

Planting:\u003c\/strong\u003e To start, plant your Frantoio Olive Tree in full sun (an area with 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily) and well-drained soil for best results.

Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water your young Frantoio Olive Tree each day, especially when the weather warms up in the spring. If you’re not sure when to water, simply check the soil.

Pruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e  During the first few years, just minimal pruning, in the dry season, is needed for your Frantoio. However, for indoor trees, pruning regulates fruit production and shapes the tree for easier harvest, as well as your desired size. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Fertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertilizing with a nitrogen-based blend regularly is recommended for increased fruit production. Fertilize until your Frantoio starts bearing olives and apply before flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Harvesting: \u003c\/strong\u003eIf you’re wanting to harvest naturally black olives for table use, pick in November. If you need green olives, harvest them in September.
