Olive trees

Olive trees are evergreen trees native to the Mediterranean region, known for their resilience and longevity. They produce olives, which are small fruits that can be eaten directly or pressed to extract olive oil, a staple in cooking and health. Olive trees thrive in well-drained, sunny soils and can live for hundreds or even thousands of years, often developing gnarled, beautiful trunks. They play a vital role in agriculture, culture, and cuisine, symbolizing peace and prosperity in many societies. Their drought tolerance and low maintenance make them valuable in sustainable farming practices.
