I knew the forest as soon as I came upon it – it felt like coming home. All of my fears and doubts melted away. I was stronger for even entering this place.

Olive trees has small white, feathery flowers, which are borne generally on the previous year's wood. The fruit is a small drupe 0.39–0.98 inches long, thinner-fleshed and smaller in wild plants than in orchard cultivars. Olives are harvested in the green to purple stage. Canned black olives may contain chemicals (usually ferrous sulfate) that turn them black artificially.
