The Monte Palace Tropical Garden in Funchal, Madeira, features an impressive olive tree estimated to be over 2,000 years old. This tree originates from the Alqueva region of Portugal and was incorporated into the Monte Palace garden as a living testament to nature's longevity and resilience.

Although the exact number or age of these olive trees is not specified, some sources refer to them as "millennial olive trees," indicating their impressive age.

Its massive trunk and far-reaching branches lend it a venerable presence – a living testament to time and a tranquil spot amidst the garden landscape, inviting visitors to pause and reflect.
