Busida trees

Black olive is a 40 to 50-foot-tall evergreen
tree with a smooth trunk holding up strong, wind-resistant
branches, forming a pyramidal shape when
young but developing a very dense, full, oval to
rounded crown with age. Sometimes the top of the
the crown will flatten with age, and the tree grows
horizontally. The lush, dark bluish-green, leathery
leaves are two to four inches long and clustered at
branch tips, sometimes mixed with the 0.5 to 1.5-inchlong
spines found along the branches.”
