S4: Bethlehem | E2: Harvesting the World's Oldest Olive Tree (Al-Bawadi)

Did you know that the World's Oldest Olive Tree is located in Palestine? Al- Bawadi Tree has been recorded to inhabit some of the most historic acres of soil in the village of Al-Walaja within the Bethlehem district of Palestine. It is believed to be over 4,000 years old according to the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture, as well as experts alike. The tree is approximately 12 meters (39 feet) in height, 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter and is compared to that of 10 average-sized olive trees put together. Luckily, we were able to join the owner of the tree, Abu Eisa, and his beautiful children to harvest the tree. He was so hospitable to treat us to a delicious breakfast underneath the shade of the tree whilst sharing stories of his community that stood together to protect this tree from being uprooted.
