2000 YEARS OLD OLIVE TREE NEAR CITY BAR - PICTURE GALLERY
This is the region of the great olive-growers and olive oil producers. They can boast about having the oldest olive tree that sprouted two millenniums ago! This olive tree, with the developing port, are the dominant symbols of the town. The medallion of the International Television Festival, which is held every year in this peaceful town, has the shape of this ancient olive tree. According to legend, no resident of Bar could get married unless they planted at least ten trees of this noble Mediterranean plant.

Traditionally the olive trees are not planted for ourselves but for our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, since you must wait ten years for the first fruit. Many of the old olive trees have the names of those who planted them. We have Radun’s, Djuro’s, Todor’s, and Risto’s olive trees. The old olive trees, which give the best fruit, even today are named after their owners. More than a half million olive trees are growing along the Adriatic coast and they are densely planted in the region of Bar.
