• Olea europaea is a slow-growing evergreen tree, known for its production of edible olives.


• It grows in a short and squat habit, the silvery green leaves being small and lance-shaped.


• The trunk is typically gnarled and twisted.


• Olive trees produce panicles of tiny white flowers, which generally grow on the previous year's wood and lead on to the production of small olive fruits.
