Here it is one of the oldest trees in Portugal.
An olive tree over 3500 years old, still producing olives!! Pretty sure there are a few oldest than this one in the same area :slight_smile:

Very cool! Olives, from my understanding, are very long lived trees and possibly (if taken care of correctly) won’t die?

Sure wish I could grow one in 8a without potting it. Beautiful trees.
