The oldest olive tree in Athens is 2500 years old, planted by Peisistratos (560-527 bc). He was a ruler of ancient Athens. It still stands proud today (despite the hardships it suffered).

Is it really a written record about that tree or is it just a legend ???
It isn't a legend. It is really a written record. (

What an amazing tree! I wonder if it still produces olives! I'm glad they have protected it so maybe it can live another thousand years!
YES, it still produces olives! I wish it too!
