The olive tree on the Island of Crete, has a trunk 15 feet in diameter, and is at least 2,000 years old, and could even be 2,900 years old based on the age of a graveyard nearby.
This tree lived through the writings of the Tanach , the entire Talmud, Shulchan Aruch, and both the building and the destruction of both Bais Hamikdash, the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Holocaust and now the great miracle of the Jews returning to the State of Israel.
It still produces olives!
