https://1000olive-terrace.com/ 14 years have passed since the tree planting in 2011. The “Tree of Life” still bears healthy fruit every year This “1,000-year-old olive tree” arrived at Shodoshima’s “Olive Forest” on March 12, 2011 after traveling 10,000 km by sea from Spain’s Andalusia region for about a month. Olives are also “symbols of peace and prosperity,” and immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake, they were planted on “Olive Day,” March 15 of the same year, to pray for “reconstruction and peace.” The large tree was transported in a container with both roots and branches cut down, but the following year it produced about 100 fruits, and at most it weighed nearly 100 kg, and in recent years we have harvested around 30 kg.
