Hi Joao,
Thanks for replying. Unfortunately I posted this question over 5 weeks ago and your's is the first reply I've had so I had to use my own judgement in the end. The three main choices round here were Arbequina, Piqual and Morrut. Although the Arbequina are fast growing, they have small fruit which makes machine harvesting difficult. The Morrut have larger fruit but take a long time to fruit. In the end, I went for the Piqual as it is in the middle for time and size. I bought and planted 92, one year old trees that were raised by nebulisation as I could not afford the grafted type.
Thanks again for your interest.
Regards,
Roger
