An olive is an evergreen tree Olea europaea
of the family Oleaceae. Native to Asia but
widely cultivated in Mediterranean and
subtropical areas, it grows up to 15m (50ft)
high, with twisted branches and opposite,
lance-shaped silvery leaves. The white
flowers are followed by green oval fruits
that ripen a bluish black.
