Unlike extra-virgin olive oil controversies, the olive tree—so central to Mediterranean culture that its name is likely from Pre-Greek Linear B) — was the prize given to the Athenians for the virgin (ignoring the alleged origin of Athenians) Athena, the goddess of wisdom, becoming not only an essential trade commodity that helped the wealth of an early empire (even up till modern days), but an essential piece of the collective civilized identity.
Care Guide
How to Care for Olive Tree, Olea Europaea?
Despite being called a tree, the olive plant doesn’t usually get too large for a well-sized planter. As a Mediterranean staple, this plant does quite well in hot, dry conditions in the sun, though it does surprisingly well indoors as well. It’s important to note that the olive tree is naturally quite gnarly and will grow every which way at first unless properly managed and pruned.
