Olive trees, also known as 'Olea europaea,' are one of the oldest and foremost vital fruit trees in history. Fruit tree culture has been closely connected to the increase and fall of Mediterranean empires, as well as different advanced civilizations throughout the ages.
Medical properties of olive oil were actually reported by several ancient Greek writers and philosophers. Their importance in making nutritional advantages and wealth for Greek citizens continues profusely today--some Greek olive tree orchards containing 1,000,000 or additional trees. Aristotle, being one of the most well renown and respected philosophers of all time, wrote extensively regarding the accepted ways of successfully growing olive trees.
Arbequina Olives: This type of olive is from the Catalonia region of Spain, and is a small olive (relatively speaking, since most olives are "small") with a light to dark brown color. The popularity of this olive is mostly due to it having a distinct "nutty" flavor.
Barouni Olive Tree: The Barouni fruit tree suits warm to cold climates. It was developed in Tunisia, Africa, and is the olive commonly used for curing olives at home. Analysis conducted has shown the Barouni Olive tree to be terribly hardy in cold temperatures, and still manufactures its giant, beautiful, green fruit. Trees are low growing and dense, terribly cold tolerant, I saw trees exposed to 13f last winter and that they didn't suffer any major harm.
Olive trees have been around for ages past, and will no doubt only increase in demand as time goes on. To read more facts about other interesting trees, check out the links below.
