Olive tree of Vouves, Crete - Greece.

This tree, which has a trunk 15ft in diameter, at least 2900 years old, based on graveyard found nearby.

This tree likely lived through writing of Iliad (golden age of Athens), rise of Roman Empire, and birth of Christ; and then lived for 2000 years after that. It still produces olives, as well.
