Olea Europaea – Box

The olive tree is an evergreen tree that can live and produce
olives for more than a century. In some rare cases, olive trees have been reported to survive and produce buds as old as 1800 years. The tree reaches a height of 15-65 feet (5-20 metres). As it happens with most trees, the height of the tree is affected by the vitality and freshness or by the diversity of the plants, as well as the soil and climatic conditions, and finally the cultivation methods used. The trunk is cylindrical, smooth on young trees and bumpy with increasing tree age, due to the appearance of lumps and bumps of varying size over time.
