2. The second thing I want you to remember about the olive tree is its fruitfulness.

It is not content to be merely a beautiful evergreen, it is busy growing fruit. Now, very few evergreens grow fruit, as you know. Of course we have holly berries, and cotoneaster berries, and a few more ; but who would think of eating these ? But the olive tree bears so many berries that as much as ten or fifteen gallons of oil can be crushed out of the fruit of one tree. The strange thing is that the soil in which the olive grows best is not the sort of soil you would expect to grow a rich crop of oily fruit. It is hard and flinty, but the olive pushes its roots down between the crevices of the flinty rock, and from the cold, unpromising stone it draws the nourishment for its precious crop.
