Abstract

Vegetative and reproductive behaviour of four table olive cultivars, ‘Conservolia,’ ‘Manzanilla,’ ‘Nocellara del Belice’ and Picholine,’ respectively native of Greece, Spain, Italy and France, were studied in Sicily (37° 30’ Lat). All the cultivars proved to be self sterile, showed very similar crop load adjustment, fruit development and shoot growth patterns. ‘Picholine’ was a good pollinizer for ‘Conservolia,’ ‘Manzanilla’ and ‘Nocellara del Belice,’ while ‘Manzanilla’ and ‘Nocellara del Belice’ behaved better as pollinizers for ‘Picholine.’
