The tree lived in a finca, Pedruixella Petit, in the Pollensa area of the Sierra Tramuntana for five or six hundred years before it was dug up and transplanted in Palma in 1999, when it weighed 3.4 tonnes. It was chosen to be a symbol of peace and attachment to the island because of its age and that fact that Mallorca is typified by its thousands of Olive trees which grow island wide. Despite being transplanted the tree (Olea europaea var. Europaea) still produces fruit every year and is nearly always surrounded by tourists taking snapshots. It's now known as the Cort Olive – Cort is the Catalan word for Court, as the city court or council, sat in square in olden times – and is protected by law!
