Caption: Olive Tree Planted by Padres About 1836
Additional Description: It has been claimed by experts that the Mission Olive as well as the Mission Grape has not been identified with any of the varieties now cultivated in Europe. Olive seeds, and perhaps some cuttings, were brought by the padres to the missions as early as 1769. Thirty years later olive culture at the missions was an assured success.
