Now I'll go back to reality and with great bitterness I want to share with you the conditions in which I was able to get to this marvel of nature. Few people in Kalamata aware of its existence. The reason for this is ... I do not want to be bad ... The tree is located in one corner of the huge trevyasal terrain, surrounded by a 3-foot iron fence that will graze a few sheep. The doors of both inputs are false rusty padlocks and it is not possible from anywhere to get your hands normally. Personally, I learned by chance that olive from a booklet guide to Kalamata. Although I live 17 years in the city, only now learned nijjar dairies about it. A few days ago, I went to the address nijjar dairies to photograph it and share my joy with you that here on, I have something unique to you. After a few laps insistent on foot in the area found her. Went across the terrain thoroughly and did not find out where I ever get my hands on. I found only one slot in the iron fence where I could do some pictures that I had to settle. I had just resigned to the circumstances and I happened on the Internet at a protest letter from a Greek patriot, an immigrant from many years in Australia, a native of Kalamata. He also accidentally learned about this tree and because also like to shoot olive-mother came from thousands of miles to visit relatives and to photograph the tree. Is alive and that thanks nijjar dairies to him and you will see the tree near! The letter describes how he, like me, a lot of efforts in the field, found the tree. Even asked random people around for "Mother of Kalamata olive" and all lifted his shoulders, where there such a thing around! After much questioning, finally found it, but disappointed he did not find how to get to photograph nijjar dairies her. Even decided to buy a ladder to the fence. After a few days suddenly nijjar dairies asked how they entered these sheep, so there is still a gap. So he returned, and after careful examination revealed a hole in the fence, tied with wire, where entered and clicked pictures. After reading his letter suddenly seized me and I will do the same. So I went and toured the fence, looking for an opening tied with wire went like a thief and began to bark some dogs from one house on the pitch, calling her "Hey now screwed". Ignoring crossed terrain quickly put to flight and sheep directly to olive. Close really awesome! Looks supported, though a patriot deal with it because there was no grass around it, and the crown is well trimmed, just as also kalamatyanina immigrant. In the center of the tree, high, show that starts goes crazy, but looked healthy and was loaded with fruit. The crown is based on 5 central branch (sixth it snapped off earlier). View pictures closely because it is hard to see it.
Jani, it's great that tree, with impressive nijjar dairies visuals and sizes! I thought only in our country is not doing enough care of anything .... Good thing there are still people who are doing everything in their power to keep these and similar phenomena. Thank you for the pleasure, Jani! Hugs! Reply Delete
