itrana

Origin: Italy
Purpose: Dual
Cold tolerance: High
Self sterile
Productivity: High
Start of bearing: Intermediate
Ripening: Late
Oil content: Medium

Growth: Itrana is a vigorous tree with an erect shape. It is cold tolerant. Its outstanding form and fast growth make it particularly well suited to landscape applications.  Itrana is self sterile and should be planted with pollinizers such as Leccino and Frantoio.

Pests: This cultivar is resistant to olive knot and leaf spot.

Fruit: Itrana is used both for the production of table olives and for oil; its yields are generally good and constant. It is most commonly pickled when black; the fruit is large and freestone.  It gives a medium yield of oil that is highly regarded for its fruity character. 

Harvest:  This cultivar is late to ripen. There is very little experience with it as a single varietal oil in California; it has typically been used in field blends.
