Many things in the world are old, like forts, temples or books. But have you ever thought that a tree can remain alive for thousands of years? A similar tree is present in the island of Crete in Greece, which is considered to be the oldest olive tree in the world. The name of this tree is the olive tree of Vauves. This tree is still standing, bears fruits and amazes people. As soon as the video of the tree went viral on social media, people were surprised.

The name of this special tree is Tsunati

This special tree is of the olive variety named Tsunati. It was planted many years ago on a wild olive tree at a height of about three meters. The trunk of this tree looks very big and strange. Its stem is so thick that even four or five people together cannot hold it. The thickness of its stem is about 12.5 meters and width is about 4.6 meters. It looks like a statue, which was created by nature itself.

You will be surprised to know the specialty

The most special thing about this tree is that no one knows its exact age. This is because the middle part of its stem has rotted hundreds of years ago. But this is not a disease, but a special strength of this tree. As the central part ended, the tree continued to form new wooden parts on the outside. For this reason, its shape keeps changing with time, yet this tree remains alive.

The tree is 4000 years old, scientists claimed

Scientists have examined the rings of the tree and found that this tree is definitely at least 2000 years old. At the same time, scientists of Crete University say that this tree can be about 4000 years old. There is no sure way to know the age of olive trees, so no one can tell its exact age. But still it is considered to be the oldest olive tree in the world.
