In the lush tapestry of history, few plants hold as sacred a place as the olive tree, a symbol that stands at the centre of mythology culture, and the dawn of Western civilization itself. It was under the olive's thick boughs that the ancient Greeks laid the foundations for a society that valued peace over conquest, wisdom over warfare. This deep connection between the olive tree and the essence of human progress is characteristically captured in the legendary, mythical contest between Athena and Poseidon for the patronage of what would become Athens. Athena's gift of the olive tree, a source of food, medicine, and light, triumphed over Poseidon's war horse,signifying a preference for a life of peace,nourishment, and intellectual pursuit. Athens, taking its name from Athena, would forever cherish this emblem of prosperity and peace.

The olive tree became very integral to the fabric of Greek society that Solon, the wise lawmaker of Athens, decreed the first protections for this sacred plant. The most revered among them, the Moria, were guarded under penalty of death for any harm that befell them, emphasizing the olive tree's sacred status. This reverence extended beyond the tangible,as olive oil became a staple in the rituals of the Greek Orthodox Church, highlighting its spiritual significance.

Its utility matched its spiritual value;the olive tree thrived in conditions where other crops failed, becoming a symbol of resilience and sustenance. Its oil preserved food, lit homes, and served as the base for ancient cosmetics and medicines, earning it a place in Hippocrates' list of essential remedies and even Aristotle's pharmacopeia.

The impact of the olive tree extended well beyond the Greek city-states; it travelled with colonists throughout the Mediterranean and Black Sea, becoming ingrained in the customs and financial systems of new territories. This spread represented not just the expansion of a plant but also the introduction of a way of life and values that gave precedence to intellectual progress, community well-being, and harmony with nature.

As we introduce Royal Tree, we pay homage to this rich legacy, embodying the same principles that made the olive tree an essential component of civilization. Royal Tree is a continuation of this story that began thousands of years ago, a story of strength, innovation and reverence for the natural world. Our dedication to preserving tradition, ensuring quality, and promoting sustainability is a tribute to the eternal legacy of the olive tree, a legacy that we are honoured to uphold.

THE JOURNEY OF ROYAL TREE: WHAT WE DO

At Royal Tree, our journey with each olive tree begins with a vision a vision to elevate the standard to the exceptional. It is a process that blends modernity and tradition, and it all begins with a strategic choice of land. Read on to follow the steps and process of our work.

The Beginning

Picture a farm abundant in historical significance, dotted with olive trees, each filled with tales of the past, ready and ripe for a new beginning. Here's where our journey at Royal Tree starts.The initial phase involves finding and buying farmland that is already planted with olive trees. This step, which focuses on lands with significant potential for expansion and further cultivation enhancements,is critical for laying the groundwork for our transformation process.

Assessment and Tree Removal

  • Upon acquiring the land, a thorough assessment of the existing olive trees is conducted, to determine and evaluate the health and compatibility of the trees with the mission of our business.
  • Digging it Out:Removing the olive tree is digging it out from its existing spot without causing any harm. This calls for thorough planning and close attention to detail.
  • Picking the Right Time: The olive tree is investigated,and the ideal time to remove the tree is determined based on the species of the tree.
  • Preparing the Tree: Prior to tree removal, the roots from the previous growing season must be pruned. This is required to ensure that new feeder roots are established close to the trunk and continue to supply the tree with nutrients and strength after the removal. The branches of the selected olive trees are trimmed, ensuring a smoother removal process, and facilitating the establishment of new feeder roots for the olive trees.
  • Digging the Tree Out: The digging process of the olive tree is conducted with precision and care, tailored to the tree's size. We calculate the required digging width and depthin relation to the tree's dimensions.Typically,10 to 12 inches of root ball diameter is excavated for each inch of tree trunk diameter. The thicker the tree,the wider and deeper we need to dig.Maintaining a moist root ball during the removal procedure is essential, helping to keep it compact, intact and together. Extra care is required in this phase, for if the soil lacks moisture and begins to crumble, the roots will eventually fall too, and the roots are crucial for the re-establishment of the olive tree in its new location. This phase is conducted through the utilization of specialized machinery, carefully removing the roots of the selected olive trees.

Planning and Preparation for New Plantings

The strategic plan developed at this stage also puts a strong emphasis on restoring the grove by planting young, fresh olive saplings in place of the trees removed. Through this process, we hope to improve the overall yield and introduce a variety of olive varieties that also supports our long-term objectives for sustainability and productivity in the environment. Once the selected olive trees are removed, the space is readied for the planting of new,young olive trees.

Tree Moving: Relocation to Our Nurturing Grounds

After removal, the olive trees are moved to a specifically prepared facility, designed for special care and optimal growth. This fenced area is set and furnished with the necessary, right conditions-adequate space, water and sunlight - suitable for the needs of the olive trees based on their species and growthpotential. By carefully relocating these olive trees to our nurturing grounds, we make sure that they are placed in the right place where they can thrive

Dedicated Care and Preparation for Exporting

Once the olive tree has moved to its new location, special, dedicated care is demanded to ensure it recovers from the whole process. Regular watering, disease and shock monitoring, and soil enhancement are crucial for its healthy growth and adaptation to the new environment. After this phase is complete and the olive tree is stable and flourishing, we proceed with pruning the trees, aiming to create a beautiful visual impact and leave a lasting impression on the landscape.It is then that the trees are ready for their final move - exportation.
