about these varieties is available on request,
however customers are encouraged to make
their own inquiries about the suitability
of a particular variety for its end use.
Dalley's Nursery
has taken due care in sourcing the material
and its quality "certified true to
type" origins are provided to customers
on request.
Trees are now
grown with techniques developed over the
last four years that ensure the production
of robust and clean trees that suit planting
in modern olive orchards. Adding value to
this experience the Dalley's have an extensive
network of experts that assist with nursery
issues as well as providing information
with regards to trends in the olive industry.

The roots in
these pots find the corners, travel down
and air prune out the bottom thus generating
a more fibrous root system. All varieties
of olives (except Kalamata) are propagated
from rooted cuttings and grown in 0.8 litre
square plastic pots, held in a frame
of 9 for easy handling.
