Congratulations António! Your spotting has been chosen for Project Noah's Fact of the Day:" In the Mediterranean Basin, olive trees are considered a particularly long-lived species, with many trees reliably estimated at several hundred years of age. Reaching great age is facilitated by the tree’s resistance to drought and fire; an olive tree destroyed above the ground can still be regenerated by its robust root system. Old olive trees can be recognized by their broad and sculpture-like gnarled trunks.
