Oliva is also known as the century plant

I am a collector of plants and until now I am still collecting new items in my garden. I have known a lot of gardeners in my town and to my neighboring cities. I compared each plants and study their growing habits and how they can be propagated. but do you know that there is a plant that has an unlimited life expectancy? Yes there is and that is the Olive Palm. They are also called as the century plant because of its characteristic of long life. Even if you put it on fire and cut all the leaves it will still grow and produce green leaves after a couple of weeks. I have 60 or 80 olive palms in my farm that is 40 years old now.
