Millennium olive tree (Olea europaea) at the foot of the Mallos de Riglos in Aragon, Spain. Filled with legend, the thousand-year-old olive is a symbolic tree, and the peoples of the Mediterranean who feed on its fruit share the ancestral practices of its cultivation. It is impossible to know the age of an olive tree with any certainty. Dendrochronology is extremely difficult to carry out because olive wood is hard, dense, veined and irregular in growth, making it difficult to individualize and count growth rings.
