Quite rustic, medium-sized plant with an erect growth habit, dense foliage and pendulous branches. Flowering is late, if compared to the Frantoio variety (end of May-June), and so is ripening (end of November-December), which is also gradual. Being self-incompatible, it needs pollinators. Cuttings have a scarce rooting ability, so it is often obtained through grafting.
Flowers have a percentage of 21% of abortion of the ovary. Fruits are ellipsoidal and have a centred diameter; olives are usually small.
