Everyone should have their own olive tree. Olives are so useful…and so are their branches!
The Olea Europaea Africana purple olive tree (if not grown for bonsai), grows to a medium height of 25 ft tall and 20 ft wide. It is a savory common eating olive that is a staple for food, nutrition and oil. The leaves and bark are medicinal as well (more about that below). Fruits turn from a green to a dark purple when ripe. Like all olives, curing is required before eating.
Medicinal Uses of the Africana Olive Tree:
The phytochemicals of the leaves, stems, buds and branches are responsible for all of the medicinal benefits of the tree; which is comprised of: Tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, anti-oxidants and therapeutic essential oils. The use of the olive tree for medicinal benefits in Africa is still reported to be at 80%. This is likely because it is easily accessible and free of cost. Uses for the leaves include: Gingivitis mouthwash, inflammatory issues, fever, malaria, diabetes and bacterial infections. The bark is used to kill tapeworms and the olive oil is rubbed on insect bites and on skin burns.
These trees are a must-have for edible and medicinal landscapes. Not to mention they just beautiful too.
