Olivier of Bohemia

This shrub represents bliss and versatility.

Tree image

The Bohemian olive tree played an important role in the lives of Turkish farmers in the 1700s because sheep and goats grazed on its foliage. The fruits of the tree are used extensively in cooking and pharmacy. In addition to culinary and pharmaceutical use, its wood allows the construction of certain musical instruments as well as certain underwater structural parts for bridges. Because of its abundance, farmers in West Asia used the bohemian olive tree for several tasks. Adding to its versatility, its silvery appearance as well as its honeyed smell will earn it the nickname Of the tree of paradise.

The bohemian olive tree is native to Eastern Europe and Western Asia and arrived in North America in the 1800s as an ornamental tree. It reaches a height of 8 meters at maturity and grows mainly in size. Its creamy white foliage allows it to stand out in the landscape. We find it a lot in fields and along waterways where it provides birds and small mammals with rich food thanks to its berries. It has finely frayed greyish bark when mature. Its yellow and fragrant flowers accompany the heat of June.
