Line Wall Olive

Olea europaea

Olive Line Wall Road

A young olive planted along the old fortifications, part of the city's greening.

Story & Significance

Where cannon once pointed out to the bay, olives now grow. This tree is part of a newer generation planted to soften Gibraltar's historic walls and bring pollinators back into the town. In a few decades it will match the Alameda's veterans.
