As a lifelong fan of the humble olive, it was great to see yet again proof that the olive tree is one of nature’s magnificant creations. The impact of the olive on the development of humanity and the civilizations of the Mediterranean would be hard to quantify.
Yet here is a lifeform that has survived countless wars and endless forms of climate change, both human and non-human related. Hopefully though, there are still days when children get to climb and birds get to rest in and around this ancient sentinel of life giving fruit.
