Olive trees have been around since 3500 BC and will easily produce fruit even when planted in the most unproductive land. The olive tree has been known throughout Greece as a symbol of wisdom and peace with various religious beliefs behind it. There are many uses for the oil which is created from olives growing from these trees, one being food of course, while lighting, cosmetics, religion and pharmaceutical uses are some others.
