Tree in one

An ancient Sicilian olive tree worth €20,000 was delivered to Sherries Garden Centre in Burmarrad this morning, having been delivered from Catania. This particular olive is three trees which, over the years, became one. It is 1,000 years old and has been bought to Malta for a private individual. In the past, olive trees were planted in threes rather than in singles and as decades passed they became works of art following the sun, twisting with winds and growing majestically.
