The world’s oldest olive tree located on the island of Crete is said to produce some of the finest olive oil in the world — and it’s doing so at the ripe old age of 3,000-years-old
Olive trees have been considered a symbol of immortality dating back to ancient times, but one olive tree might actually be immortal.

How are the olives?
You can actually buy olive oil made from the tree’s olives in the shop next door
Been there, seen it. Trunk is hollow inside, you can walk through it.
Hexxus is definitely trapped in there
When you’re there, you’re family.
There’s a couple on Mount of Olives in Jerusalem that are about this old and look just like this tree.
Let’s burn it down!
some Roman Legionnaire could’ve seen this tree and was like “hell yeah”
[According to wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_tree_of_Vouves):
> The Olive tree of Vouves is an olive tree in the village of Ano Vouves in the municipal unit of Kolymvari in Chania regional unit, Crete, Greece. Probably one of the oldest olive trees in the world, it still produces olives today.
> The exact age of the tree cannot be determined. The use of radioisotopes is not possible, as its heartwood has been lost down the centuries, while tree ring analysis demonstrated the tree to be at least 2000 years old. and on the other end of the scale, scientists from the University of Crete have estimated it to be 4,000 years old. A possible indicator of its age are the two cemeteries from the Geometric Period discovered near the tree. Current research in Crete and abroad indicates that earlier estimates of the age of olive trees are to be debated as far as their accuracy. There is not yet an agreed upon scientific method to ascertain the age of olive trees. In the case of the Vouves Olive, it could be much younger than earlier estimates or even than the ancient tree in Finix (Sfakia).
> The tree remains productive to this day, having been grafted with the cultivar ‘Tsounati’. The trunk has a perimeter of 12.5 m (41 ft) and a diameter of 4.6 m (15 ft).
Its Crazy to think this Tree was around through almost the entire Roman Empire, the dark ages to the present day and survived through all of that.

Huh I’ve been there. Thanks for the reminder. I even have a petrified olive from that tree.

Can I find it in AC Odyssey?
In Israel the Garden of Gethsemane has live olive trees that were around when Jesus Christ was there 2000 years ago.
Trees been through some shit.
s old.
There used to be some like this in Palestine until they were cruelly destroyed.
If this tree could talk, it would have a quest for me.
Life is brilliant. Beautiful. It enchants us, to the point of obsession.
Lived on Crete for a couple of years. That tree was super cool
Now that’s a tree!
Nature truly amazes with its masterpieces.
It reminds me of that spiritual tree in the series of Avatar LoK :0
Up the road from where my father lives. I’ve eaten the olives from this tree
