Our Love Affair with Olive Trees
This is the tree that began our love affair with olives. It’s one hundred years old and as hardy as you like.
In early 2013, when the snow came thick and fast, it was absolutely covered in snow like the abominable snow man.
When the snow finally left, it stood strong, bold and forever green!
