Olive Tree

The olive tree (Olea europaea) is a small evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region, known for its silvery-green leaves and gnarled trunk. It is primarily cultivated for its fruit, the olive, which is used to make olive oil and is also consumed directly, often after curing. Olive trees are highly drought-tolerant and thrive in warm, sunny climates.
