Ideal on a balcony, terrace or directly in the garden, the olive tree is a wonderful gift for any occasion.
The olive tree is an evergreen tree with spherical vegetation, slow growth, symbol of the Mediterranean. Traditionally, the olive tree is a symbol of peace and friendship, this union began in ancient Greece, already in the fifth century.
The olive tree is one of the most beloved, sacred trees and its place is rooted in ancient Greek tradition and mythology.
Legend has it that Zeus proposed a contest between Athena and Poseidon for control of Athens. Poseidon broke his triple trident on the hard rock of the Acropolis, which unleashed a spring. While Athena produced an olive tree, with its silver green leaves and the abundance of rich fruits.
The Athenians chose Athena's gift and, in turn, the olive has remained a very favorite part of Greek life ever since!
It became clear that the olive tree was of special importance in relation to all the other trees, when the Persian armies of the great King Xerxes passed through Greece. In 480 BC, the buildings on the Acropolis, which contained olive trees, were set on fire and destroyed. However, the olive trees "sprouted the same day at a height of two boxes" (1 meter!). In addition, the seeds from the remains of this sacred tree were replanted throughout Attica. In doing so, it meant that all the olive groves that surround Athens have a touch of the original Athena tree.
Olive trees require little nutrition as they have evolved over the centuries into poor, stony soils. Although they value the annual coating of fertilizers to keep the leaves shiny, the olive is an incredibly drought tolerant plant.
