Ancient Olive Trees

A brief stop on one my trips about two weeks ago was some old olive trees.  The sign said they're from 4000 BC, and our tour guide was telling us they're in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest olive trees in the world.

They were, as one would expect old trees to be, quite knotty and kind of feeble looking:


If you're dying for more pictures of these old trees, check out this site.  There's a cool picture of the group of them there.

Still don't like your fruit, sorry ancient olive trees.
