{"product_id":"gnarled-olive-tree","title":"Ancient Olive Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn ancient olive is time made visible — decades, often a century or more, of Mediterranean sun written into one gnarled, sculptural trunk. Trees like this cannot be grown to order; they are found, lifted and nurtured by specialist growers, and no two are alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tree is a one-of-one specimen.
