măslin sălbatic

Explanation:
http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Măslin
Măslinul sălbatic este un pom mic cu aspect de tufiş, cu creştere lentă şi crengi presărate cu ghimpi. Varietăţile cultivate prezintă multe deosebiri, dar în general sunt lipsiţi de spini, mai compacţi şi mai productivi. Măslinii au o creştere lentă, dar sunt şi foarte longevivi.
