Olive ‘Cailletier’ (Olea europaea)

Often called Nicoise Olive, ‘Cailletier’ is a French variety with small, black, delicately flavored olives that are the primary choice for Nicoise salads. It’s a self-fertile olive similar to ‘Arbequina’ and it can be used as a table olive or for olive oil. We recommend planting with ‘Arbequina’ for better pollination and higher yields. Olives are well suited for containers since they are drought tolerant and can take a winter chill. ‘Cailletier’ has the traditional silvery-green foliage, and it makes a beautiful, fruiting container plant.
