Di questo Olivastro Millenario, detto anche S'Ozzastru (Olivastro) e il Patriarca, avevo già parlato in una precedente foto ma per la sua eccezionalità mi piace riparlarne, si trova nel comune di Luras, precisamente nella località di Santu Baltòlu. L'Olivastro ha un'età variabile tra i 3800 e i 4000 anni e questo lo rende l'albero più vecchio d'Italia e uno dei più datati dell'Europa. Una leggenda narra che sotto le sue chiome e fra i suoi rami alberghino gli spiriti maligni infatti il grosso ramo a destra altro non è che uno spirito molto accigliato e cattivo con occhi bocca e braccia che Rod scorgerà senz'altro. Il fatto che fosse un albero maledetto l'ha salvato perché chi lo taglia è maledetto per sempre, proprio per questa fama è sopravvissuto dall'epoca nuragica a oggi e ancora resiste. Si narra pure che all'interno del suo tronco, i briganti nascondessero i tesori che rubavano. Data la sua ampiezza, fino a qualche tempo fa, sotto la sua chioma si riparavano circa un centinaio di pecore. La circonferenza del tronco è di ben undici metri e mezzo, mentre il diametro della sua chioma arriva a misurarne 21 ed è alto 14 metri. Dal 1991 è stato dichiarato Monumento Naturale e questo ha evitato che le fiamme lo distruggessero, infatti attualmente si trova in una zona accessibile soltanto se accompagnati dai giovani lavoratori di una cooperativa. Per accedervi è necessario pagare una piccola quota di ingresso. Vicino all'Olivastro, troviamo la moglie, che di anni ne ha solamente duemila e nelle immediate vicinanze si trova il figlio, di soli 500 anni.

The photo is gorgeous, the olive tree has the branches that intertwine and form very beautiful lines, as beautiful is the light you have caught. But the caption is amazing :-o just thinking about the years he's lived, how many he's seen this tree, it excites me. Congratulations and thank you for giving us this extraordinary documentary

Beautiful shape of the tree and the photo that makes the vital energy of the olive :-)
(I would have liked to have had an idea of its size, visually, with a human reference nearby, which I then found on google, following your caption)

Dear Evil Spirits, protect all the trees in the world and curse all those who outrage them for their gain!
Magnific tree, magnificent caption! Good friend Emme! :-)
