I don't know if this pic is good enough but does anyone know which type
of olive this is? All we know is it's an olive!

It looks like the usual Olea europaea to me.

Which "usual" one? There are many named varieties and cultivars.

True. I should have used a different word. Maybe 'common' would be

They are just like apples in their diversity, I would imagine very hard to
sort out the named fruiting forms (unless you live in an area famous for
growing them!)
