The 2,000 year old olive tree of Vouves, Greece, that still produces olives and whose branches are used in Olympic laurels

I wonder if its olives sell for a premium or taste significantly different.

You'd think after two millennia of producing olives it'd get bored of them and start making oranges or something to keep it interesting

Good point, it might be worth it for the olive tree of Vouves to....branch out a bit!

It still hasn’t made olive the ones it wants to yet.

At that age it thinks it's making oranges.
