Variety traits

Olive Vigor

Olea europaea L.

Olive vigor determines the vegetative development of the canopy and is a decisive criterion when selecting a variety for intensive or super-intensive cultivation systems.

In the reference 344 varieties crop Olive, where this is mentioned in the description.

To quantify olive vigor, morphometric measurements of canopy height and width are used, as well as biometric indicators, including the length of annual shoots and the cross-sectional area of the trunk. An indirect method involves weighing the wood removed during pruning, as vigorous varieties require more intensive intervention to maintain the intended shape.

This trait directly affects economic efficiency and planting density, determining the feasibility of mechanized harvesting. Low-vigor varieties, such as Arbequina, Arbosana, and Sikitita, are preferred for super-intensive orchards, whereas high vigor often leads to an imbalance between vegetative development and fruit bearing.
