Evergreen shrubby tree. Pruned to have a single trunk. Mainly as a pollenizer in Tuscany, but for landscaping Pendolino offers many desirable characteristics such as good cold hardiness and a dense, weeping canopy. It flowers early and profusely with a long bloom, but it is self-sterile and must be paired with another variety such as Leccino. Though small, the Pendolino olive produces a moderate amount of good quality oil with a very mild flavor, low bitterness and delicate pungency. Low water needs once established.
