The Olive Tree is known as the healthiest tree as it is not susceptible to destruction by fungus and bacteria and was first harvested in Syria more than 6,000 years ago. In Greece the olive tree was so sacred that anyone who destroyed one was sentenced to death or exile! In fact Plato's olive tree is still alive even though it no longer produces fruit. Here is my lovely tree - bought locally as an early birthday present....it is great to think of it living on after I have gone!
