Even if the olive fruit falls to the ground, it is not possible for a wild olive tree to sprout from that olive or its seed. The structure of the olive fruit’s oil prevents this. However, the olive stone, undigested by the partridge bird that eats the olive fruit, can germinate in the soil and turn into a wild olive tree. Therefore, it is said that wild olive trees are planted by partridge birds.
