The oldest olive tree in Turkey is 3,200 years old

Hatice Akturk settled in Mugla in the Milas district after working in Bursa for many years. She and her husband bought a garden with olive trees. Later it turned out that one of the olive trees is 3,200 years old, according to scientific measurements. A scientific article on the determination of his age was published in an international journal. The diameter of the trunk of this giant is 4 meters and it still yields crops, so Aktobe began to produce olive oil called Ata Ağaç. Now anyone can buy this unique oil in the shops of Turkey. By the way, olive oil produced in Miass has become the fifth geographical product registered in the EU.
