The Spanish Olive Tree, scientifically known as *Olea europaea*, is a hardy, evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region, especially Spain. These trees are known for their twisted, gnarled trunks and silver-green, elongated leaves that give a silvery sheen in sunlight. Spanish olive trees can grow up to 20-30 feet tall and live for hundreds, even thousands, of years. The tree produces small, fragrant white flowers in spring, which are later followed by olives, ranging in color from green to black as they mature. The fruit is widely used for producing olive oil and is a staple in Spanish cuisine. Olive trees are drought-resistant, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun, making them perfect for warm, dry climates.
