olive groves
Oil tree orchards
An olive grove is a cultivated area where olive trees grow, typically in Mediterranean climates.
The phrase evokes ancient agricultural landscapes—terraced hillsides in Greece, Spain, or Palestine where gnarled trees have produced fruit for centuries: We wandered through olive groves outside the village.
The trees yield olives for eating and pressing into oil.
