Olive Tree

An olive tree is a resilient, evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region, known for its gray-green leaves and gnarled trunk. It produces olives, which are harvested for olive oil and eating. Olive trees thrive in rocky, well-drained soils and can live for hundreds of years, often symbolizing peace, wisdom, and endurance. They require minimal water once established and are valued for their drought tolerance. Olive trees also play a significant cultural and economic role in many societies, with their cultivation dating back thousands of years.
