《油橄欖》

Olea europaea (olive tree) has long represented wealth, abundance, power and peace. The olive has a reputation for long life, nourishment and its ability to thrive in tough conditions. It is an evergreen variety with small, silver-green leaves. It also produces small white blossoms before bearing the little ripening fruits known as olives. Olive tree can bear fruit form as young as 5 years old but production becomes steadier with age. The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is pollinated by wind.

In its natural environment, the olive tree can grow up to 6-9m tall. As a potted plant, it can be maintained at a smaller size, typically around 1-2m.
