DOEBLI

A documented North-African presence, mainly as a technical introduction

In Africa, Doebli is reported in North-African olive contexts, with documented presence in Egypt. Here it appears as introduced plant material managed within structured production settings, rather than as a long-established “landscape cultivar” shaped by centuries of local continuity.

Settlement aligned with areas where drought pressure can be mitigated

Where it is grown, adoption tends to favour sites and orchards where agronomic management can buffer lower drought tolerance. In other words, the choice reflects environmental fit and management capacity, not indiscriminate expansion.

TGoP lens: targeted adaptation, not a “global” variety

Within TGoP, Doebli in Africa can be framed as a selective introduction: a cultivar entering new settings with clear boundaries, where variety choice is guided by the balance between territory, farming practice, and long-term orchard sustainability.

A Levant core: coastal belts and comparatively humid olive territories

In Asia, Doebli is strongly associated with Syria, with cultivation indicated mainly in the western parts of the country (coastal and near-coastal territories), where olive growing interacts with comparatively more humid conditions than many inland Mediterranean settings.

Documented regional extensions: Levant–Mesopotamia circuits

The cultivar is also reported in Iraq, within a pattern of regional circulation that follows agro-climatic proximity and technical networks rather than intercontinental trajectories. This positions Doebli as a “basin cultivar” with a concentrated geography.

TGoP reading: proximity migration and territorial coherence

In the Gardens of Peace narrative, Doebli in Asia tells a short, coherent migration: it moves within related territories and keeps an identity tied to landscapes where water availability and relative humidity are decisive variables for orchard viability.
