I see a number of “fruitless olives” on the market. How does Swan Hill® differ?
The Swan Hill Olive® was patented by the University of California, Davis, CA after nearly a decade of research. The unique qualities (fruitless and pollenless) of the Swan Hill Olive® have been authenticated by research, published in peer reviewed, scientific journals. In the thirty years since the patent was granted not a single study has refuted any of the results of this research. Swan Hill Nurseries, LLC has always had the option to grow other, so called, fruitless cultivars but we have always declined. If there was a better, more reliable, genuinely fruitless/pollenless olive variety we would grow it.
