Sardinia olive tree

[silvafox]

In northern Sardinia there are two old olive trees. One is about two thousand and the one in the pic is about four thousand years old (allegedly). I think they may be the most ancient olives on earth.

Really nice place too. Growing in tall grassland and quiet country location.

Olivastri millinairi (or spelt something like that)

Nice old ladies. Nice to see piccies of non native UK trees on here.

Not UK. Sardinia. South of Corsica (France), west of Italy, east of Spain and north of Africa. Somewhere in the Med. It belongs to Italy.
