Neutral Kell On Dec 16, 2007, Kell from Northern California, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

Ascolano is a great one for producing the colossal sized olives you find in cans. This very heavy bearer has big fruit with very small pits, and the skin is a light color. The fruit is not bitter so needs only a moderate lye treatment. It is more frost tolerate than many of the other cultivars. Bought to California from Italy in 1885, its fruit ripens about mid September to mid October.
