%X This study aimed to determine olive and oil yield and quality of ¡®Picual¡¯ and ¡®Koroneiki¡¯ cultivars grown in high density planting systems in Northern Cyprus. The research was conducted in the city of G¨¹zelyurt located in the western part of Northern Cyprus during 5 consecutive crop years from 2013 (2nd growing year) to 2017 (6th growing year). Planting distance of the two cultivars was adjusted as 4 x 2 m, equalling to 1250 trees ha-1. Results showed that ¡®Koroneiki¡¯ is more promising than ¡®Picual¡¯ and it starts fruit bearing 2 years after planting. The ¡®Picual¡¯ cultivar was found to be late in fruit bearing, but its yield was noted to be significantly higher than the ¡®Koroneiki¡¯, where the cumulative yield of ¡®Picual¡¯ reached ¡®Koroneiki¡¯ in two years. Oil yield (% of fruit weight) of ¡®Koroneiki¡¯ was found to be varied from 21.02 % to 22.67 % and of ¡®Picual¡¯ from 18.47 % to 20.13 %. ¡®Picual¡¯ cultivar with less oil yield (% of fruit weight) than ¡®Koroneiki¡¯ noted to have higher oil per tree (kg)
