Key
Shape indicates the clipped shape of the specimen. Where no description is given then the specimen plant has been allowed to grow with the minimum of trimming, and encouraged to acquire a shapely, natural form.
Figures in the Diameter column denote the diameter of the head or bush in centimetres. Where the Ø symbol is shown, the figures alongside denote the girth of the main stem in centimetres.
Form: Plants are either shown as CG, denoting Container Grown, or the exact size of the pot is listed in litre capacity.

Please be aware of the following coding system:
= Toxic when eaten. = Harmful if eaten. = Skin irritant - can cause allergic reaction.

All sizes and dimensions are approximate.

*Tuscan Style olives are grown with a more open habit with a loose head
