Olive Bonsai

Olea europaea, the common olive, is an evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region and one of the oldest cultivated plants in human history, with evidence of cultivation dating back over 6,000 years. In ancient Greek mythology, olive trees were sacred to Athena; in Abrahamic traditions, the olive branch symbolizes peace and reconciliation. The tree's characteristic narrow, silver-gray leaves, gnarled and deeply furrowed trunk, and twisted branching create a uniquely Mediterranean aesthetic that distinguishes olive bonsai from all traditional East Asian species. In bonsai, olive has surged in popularity worldwide over the past two decades, particularly in the growing 'Western bonsai' movement, prized for its drought tolerance and dramatic aged appearance.
