The Cayon is a cultivar of olives grown primarily in the Var region of southern France.
[1] Among the names used locally for the Cayon, are Entrecastellen, Plant d'Etranger, Nasies, Montfortaise and Race De Montfort.
[1] It is a cultivar of good strength, with a spreading growth form and elliptic leaves that are short and of medium width.
[6] It is considered a productive cultivar, with a tendency towards biennial bearing, i.e. that a good yield is followed by a weaker one the next year.
[8] It does not show any particular vulnerability to the major pests, with the exception of the Bactrocera oleae (Olive fruit fly).
