- From the page: "Olive trees, called olivos in Spanish and said originally to have been planted on the Iberian peninsula by the Romans, have stood witness to much of Spain's history. Today the country's vast groves make it the world's largest producer of olive oil. Many of these olive trees have a striking visual appeal: gnarled, thick trunks with cropped branches and silvery-green leaves. Landscape architects seek out old trees with aesthetic personality, or to suit a particular buyer's garden. Now, with a 10-year building boom along Spain's southern coast, from Tarifa to Valencia, the trees -- often uprooted by developers -- are finding new homes in Spain and abroad as yard ornaments."
