Olive trees like this at the archaeological site of Lissos at the south coast of Crete are cultivated since 6000 years and some of these tress seem to be some thousand years old. Olivenbäume werden im Mittelmeerraum wie hier an der Ausgrabungsstätte Lissos an der Südküste Kretas seit 6000 Jahren kultiviert. Einige der Bäume scheinen auch wirklich Tausende Jahre alt zu sein.
