Olive (Olea europaea L.), originated from Upper Mesopotamia, which also includes Southeastern Anatolia. There are many olive varieties whose morphological and biological properties are not well known. Some of those identified by their morphological and biological characteristics have some variations depending on unknown genotypic or phenotypic causes.
