“The olive tree commences bearing five or six years after being planted. Its 
ordinary crop is fifteen or twenty pounds of oil per annum, and the regularity of the 
crop, as well as the great age to which it lives, renders an olive plantation one of the

there is a celebrated plantation near Terni, in Italy, more than five miles in extent, 
which, there is every reason for believing, has existed since the time of Pliny. 
“The olive is not a very tender tree. It will thrive further north than the 
orange. The very best sites for it are limestone ridges, and dry, crumbling lime-
