It is a vigorous variety with an upright shape and dense crown which produces an abundance of new wood each year. The leaves are elliptical / anceolate in shape; medium small, short and narrow in size; and matte dark green in color.

The variety is also useful for table fruit. AGRONOMY: A very productive variety which enters into production later than Arbequina. It is considered rustic because of it's good adaptability to various microclimates as well as freezes and drought. Generally demanding as to land and cultivation it must be actively farmed.
