Ariquina Olive Tree

[Unicyclemike]

I live in zone 6b/7a south central Pennsylvania....we had a week in January of temps below 15 degrees F at night and highs around 25 degrees F. in the daytime.  I used styrofoam, leaves, and Christmas lights to protect it.....The tree is in ground.

Would that be Arbequina?  There's no information available on an Ariquina variety.

You can always go back and edit.    Olive trees are cool.  I love EVOO, but it's important to find a brand and source you can trust for the real thing, not rely on what they sell in the supermarket.  Spain grows the most olives.  California (Mediterranean climate) has a lot of growers and artisanal producers.  If you're REALLY interested in the subject, I found this website and its sister site: https://bestoliveoils.org and www.oliveoiltimes.com.
