OK what's this gnarly old thing, recently photographed a good 4 hours' flight south of here?

4 hrs south, ie out of UK? Olive

[daltontrees]

right first time. Here's a picture of the whole tree. Im pressive girth for little substantial canopy. And growing in what amounts to dust.

That Olivier was just for practice, but here's another one from the same sunny location that I don't know what it is but I wouldn't waste peoples' time by asking for an ident. If anyone knows please share it with me and others.

Is this one of the she oaks ? Reminds me of some I saw in Australia. would be interesting if one of the experts could say what it is.

Nice pictures, nepia, it's amazing how Olive just shrugs off its problems and keeps going. I wonder if it is resists decay because of the dry climate or because of some special defence system it has.

Just think what those olives would cost for a garden in kensington/ Hollands Park

We had a customer who was seriously considering paying £1000 for one nowhere near as interesting in the trunk department.

Theres a good business idea
