FAQS

How can you tell the age of an ancient olive tree?

Normally the age of trees is calculated by counting the trunk rings or by radioisotopes such as carbon 14. In olive trees, as the innermost part of the trunk is missing, these methods are not feasible. Therefore, formulas that relate the perimeter of the trunk to the age of the tree are applied. This way, we can estimate the age of our olive trees.
