Originally from the Penedès, the Arbosana plant takes its name from the Arboçan population of Aragon, although today it is spreading throughout the country.
The Arbosana plant is a variety characterized by a rather high and constant productivity, with a very early entry into production. Its reduced vitality makes it very interesting for intensive cultivations. Its average oil content is 19-20%, although it is very appreciated for its organoleptic characteristics. The Arbosana plant possesses a high rooting capacity. As for its resistance, moreover, the plant is susceptible to tuberculosis and verticillium, while very resistant to leaf maculation.
Regarding its characteristics, we can illustrate:
- the fruit, purple when fully ripe, with small and numerous protuberances, small in size, spheroid and slightly asymmetric
- the core, with an ovoid and symmetrical shape.
