Olive trees are healing
They are life
😅 Do they provide the trees you see at the RHS FLOWER SHOWS
I’m Daniel from minute 16:09 . It’s such a pleasure to be part of this amazing family. Can not describe the imense joy I feel every day while taking care of these magnificant trees! ❤ And yes, Cláudio really is a young version of Ronaldo 😂
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Daniel, what amazing work to be a part of, love your work, watching from Melbourne, Australia
Thanks Daniel, you have a really cool job friend. 👍🙏🙏🌷
@@danielvieira4507 Hello from Canada! Thank you Daniel for introducing your beautiful tree farm to us. I am sure everybody enjoyed watching and appreciating the preservation process of these ancient trees. Say Hi to your crew!
The first edible olive tree appeared on the scene around 5,000 years ago during the Bronze Age, and has become a cultural and agricultural centerpiece from that moment on. From the time the first cultivated crop bore fruit, olives have been used for a variety of purposes. Ancient Greeks used it as a skin and hair treatment for good health, its oil has been used for light, cooking, eating/drinking and ceremonies, while its leaves have been used to crown kings.
Scientists have determined that the Olive trees in the Garden of Gethsemane could very well have come from cuttings of a tree dating back to when
Jesus is believed to have prayed on this same hill in Jerusalem. In 2012 the
National Research Council of Italy conducted a study to see if any of the
8 olive trees remaining at Gethsemane today could have been the same that
sheltered Jesus Christ. Testing the older parts of three tree trunks, they obtained the dates of 1092, 1166 and 1198 AD through radiocarbon dating.
With DNA tests, they showed that all three of these millennia old trees were spliced from one parent tree, a practice often employed to keep a lineage of trees alive. Olive trees possess the ability to regrow from roots alone. Along with evidence from the DNA tests, it is possible that the olive trees alive today in the garden of Gethsemane were also still standing some 2,000 years ago through splicing and continual cutting of the trees above the roots. Franciscan monks look after the olive trees today & lovingly care for them. They use every part of the olives. The oil is used for blessings, and the pits are used for Rosary beads.
(I spliced this together from a 'ucatholic' church article)
p.s. These amazing trees remind me of one of the oldest known trees on the planet ...named "Methuselah"!! What a legacy to carry on!!!
That was truly one of the best and most amazing episodes ever. Having a 300 year old tree, a piece of history
on your land is a big honor. May it grow and give you all the peace and fortune you could wish for. And Tara
you were not the only one getting emotional.....
Thank you for this lovely comment Anja, we are so pleased to hear you loved it. Every time we drive down the drive way we can't help but smile! 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
What an amazing video, WOW! Tears ran down my face watching that beautiful Olive Tree being ever so gently placed into the ground on your very special Farm! Claudio and his team are amazing! This is hands down one of my favorite videos. So special! ❤❤
Thanks Angie! One of our favourites too. ❤️❤️
Agreed!
A perfect old tree to anchor the circle, and some TLC for the ‘forest rescue’ tree must makes the Newby farm truly feel like home.
The end made me cry too
I couldn’t have said it better Angie.
What is it that moves me so about an ancient olive tree? I believe it’s the long life, the ability to thrive under adversity. Such a very special episode here. Thank you. ❤
I think it’s their passion love joy gratitude generosity family and respect for all who join in. They are truly special people.
The value they have for a magnificent tree.
🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
Tara, you are such an amazing storyteller! The passion and enthusiasm you both share while taking us on your journey in Portugal is so inspiring. Thank you for including us.😊
Thank you friend, we loved having you here and witnessing this special day with us 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
OMG...talk about being moved to tears!!! How wonderful for this to come to fruition for all of you!!! Glad to see that Obi is doing his part to help on the farm too! Blessings!!!
Thanks so much Michelle, we are so pleased about it 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
That was amazing, hats off to the wonderful Portuguese worker/helpers!
The Newbys won the mega lottery of trees! WOW! Breathtaking tree that will be in a breathtaking entrance to (hopefully) a breathtaking home!!!
We did indeed Janice! 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
The credits at the end were definitely needed for this epic video. Felt the love from everyone - what a top team! ❤
🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
I have been feeling so sad because I've just learned that the people who bought my house have chopped down a tree that I grew from a tiny sapling. Seeing this beautiful tree being delivered into your care has cheered me up enourmously.
We are so sorry to hear that Sally, sending you lots of love 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
How thoughtless, those green creatures can become like children which we saw growing.
Amazing!
I planted trees and shrubs to feed the deer, birds, bees and all wild animals on my eight acres, built a pond for turtles, insects, snakes, frogs and turtles and no fish, fruit trees and grapes, and wilded my property. I have not dared to go back in case I see it has been reverted to a suburban mowed down, poisoned, sterile prettiness.
My heart goes out to you, @sallysimmons4702!
Oh my goodness that was wonderful. Every moment of the video. I was so emotional looking at. Your excitement is infectious. What a group of lovely people that came to plant the tree. Claudio and of course Joel are fine young men. Not forgetting Mario who is always on hand to help. I just love the bond between Crusoe and Mario. To see Crusoe up on Marios digger is the best. Tara I am so glad your Dad and Mom were there to see the magic of it all. John and Tara you both deserve thd best. Long live the Olive Tree.🤗🤗😘😘😘
We are so thankful for all the amazing people that have helped us get our farm ready for this beautiful tree and then of course to Claudio and the team for the beautiful tree and their great service! 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
What an emotional amazing episode such a privilege to watch a wonderful tree finding its forever home, I am smiling at the same time tears rolling down my face so moving.. You are all going to get so much pleasure seeing the tree thrive lovely that 3 generations are there watching this momentous occasion and finally how super is Claudio such an exceptional fine young man whose love for his job shines through ❤

I live in an area with a lot of olive trees. We were privileged to watch a whole orchard grow from saplings
To mature twinkle trees. We call them that because they shimmer in the sun, a beautiful silver color.
May your tree bring you joy and peace. 🩷🩷💕💕

How fun was that. Gosh if only we could see all the things that 300 year old tree has seen in it's lifetime. What a beautiful tree you chose too, the shape is lovely. Enjoy your lovely trees, I'm sure the boys will too.
I could see Tara a bit emotional , I have to confess I was too .

So happy to see this beautiful new addition to your farm!
Suggestion; Place a permanent plaque at the tree stating the history, dates, your names etc etc.
~Cara ❤
Love the idea of having a permanent plaque there too Cara, thanks for sharing 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
Just Incredible. Thank you for sharing such a monumental occasion. 🥰
What an idyllic life you are creating. And it’s clear that you are so very aware of how fortunate you are to have this life. Made my day watching this video - so inspiring.
An amazing, beautiful tree heading to a wonderful new home to be shared by many for a lot of years to come. A truly wonderful journey to watch.
🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
Yes what a dream what a privilege! What a beautiful old giant - God bless this tree.
It is a huge privilege Hannelie, we are so thankful 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
This matriarch tree will now be the support system for the entire Grove, as trees communicate,through their root system. Beautiful!
❤️🇵🇹
It is illegal in Italy to chop down an olive tree. They are very important to history here. You are investing in history. The boys will always respect that tree and what it has meant to all of you. I am emotional with you. Bravo. Love from Abruzzo, Italy.
Thanks so much friend 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
Unbelievable Sunday morning with this amazing family and the olive tree we're always learning I'm so thankful to you all ❤

Hiya Newbys! What an episode to witness! So happy to see this ancient tree make its home in your home for years to come and to have your dad with you too. Thankyou for letting us all share your dreams and aspirations xx❤️💙💙💙
What a wonderfully moving vlog of choosing the old olive tree. Then later the whole process of moving it by a very caring, skilled & professional team. To see it in place in the circle, a legacy for centuries to come. So fun to see Crusoe, Sawyer & Obi helping in their own ways!
So pleased,Tara, your Dad could be there to share this part of your farm adventure with you.
The old olive trees have such personalities , standing tall. Just imagine they have lived for couple of hundred years plus. Boys and diggers no matter the age. I felt so much excitement watching this whole video seeing a historical tree being picked by a beautiful family and following it to its new home. Thank you for a perfect watch. Take care.
They indeed have personalities Debbie, we loved being able to walk around the beautiful orchard and feel the different energies from the trees. So special 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
In Seattle here. So I’ve used Giant Sequoia(4) and Redwoods(2-a Filoli blue and a Dawn Redwood which is deciduous. These are the backbone of the lawn supplemented with Sword ferns, manzanita trees and blueberries interspersed to make a forest. Also remodeling an old house that was started in 1949. I took early retirement and coming up on 30 years, working on the yard and house. Life interferes sometimes but it’s a balm for the soul. So thankful and I get it when you express your gratitude for the joy of it all. God is good.
The consciousness of a 300yr old tree. How majestic! I know you will love it, talk to it and shower it with your amazing light. Its now a part of your family ❤
OMG how wonderful to save them. We need all the trees. You have no idea how much this made me smile. Thank YOU!
We absolutely love them Lori. Thanks so much for watching 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
Hi Tara! Thanks for sharing ☺️
I might say I wasn't expecting to be so emotional about seeing that adventure, but it reminded me growing up in Amarante, running out from my grandparents house barefoot and climbing up trees... I still hear my grandma saying "enjoy the blessing of earth, feed and water them properly and your sons will thank you"..
I wish all of the best for your family. I hope Universe enlight all of you with health, strength and happiness every step of the way.
A gentle kiss and a warm hug💙
That is amazing Joana, thanks so much for sharing and for being here for this moment 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
Tara, OMG... I've just realized that your Mario is my childhood Mario... I'm in tears right now! He is such a gentle old soul...he is the epitome of resilience throughout his path. I completely now understand why your son gravitates towards him, I was too...
Mário, Vitinho, se lerem isto, um abraço apertado com saudade ❤️
What a perfect guardian for the property! I don't know what it is about these old trees but I was so teary through the vlog! What a joy and honor for your family and future family!
🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
Happy Sunday everyone!

Hello Newbys Another wonderful video from the Newbys.
It's was lovely to see the whole family getting involved.
I love olive trees as I always look at them having eternal life as they have such a long life.
Hi Sandra, it was such a big moment and we are so happy we could share it with you 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼

WOW what an amazing Diaplant team!!! Truly a beautiful sight to see and a special gift for your family legacy! Thank you for sharing this epic moment!
They are the absolute best Louise, we love working with Claudio and his team! 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
What a fantastic episode this was. It actually brought a lump to my throat. You're creating a family legend that your distant relatives will talk about. "Our ancestors planted this tree thousands of years ago when it was 300 years old". Blows my mind to think about it. What a legacy to leave. ❤
Oh my gosh… fantastic episode. I was brought to tears in the most beautiful way. What a privilege to be part of the new olive tree journey. Not forgetting the other trees too. Everything about DiaPlant is spectacular. I could spend days at their nursery.
A person could spend days in their nursery for sure friend 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
A very particular moment of your life,the donation of those old olive trees. They will stay honoured as best as you can do..in the paradise of your farm.❤❤
I have such a huge smile on my face. Love how the trees are across from each other. I'm imagining them talking to each about all the things they have seen in their lifetime and being excited about this new adventure.
We are so happy to hear that friend. We are picturing the same thing! 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
Your silent guardian, beautiful and waiting to greet you when you return home. A magnificent tree!
❤️❤️❤️
Wow!!! My cheeks hurt from smiling so much! Congratulations!!!
This was amazing to watch. I never miss any of your videos. Love your family. Best of luck to your brand new tree.
What a professional team treating the beautiful olive tree so gently. Very emotional to watch. Thankyou for a fantastic video. Loved it .
Diaplant is incredible friend! Thanks so much for watching 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼

We are sure it will Deborah. Thanks so much for watching 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
AWESOME VIDEO TARA.....JUST AWESOME🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤😊
EPIC Newbies video! Awesome! 🌳 🎋 🏡 Olives forever! Beautiful old tree!❤❤❤
Amazing!!! What an olive tree, what a journey! Great! The tree is already so old, you should consider giving it a name….Thank for sharing 😊
That’s a cool idea Claudia. It definitely feels like it needs a name for sure!!
What a wonderful gift. It's so incredible how they can do this. Just beautiful. I'm so happy for you all. ❤❤❤❤❤
Tara and John what an amazing video. Tara your introduction in your videos are always amazing and touching .So glad that your dad is there ,great memories.
Have a lovely week ahead family Newbys ❤❤❤❤❤❤🇬🇷 🇬🇷
I already comment on this video... but I just wanted to let you know again how beautiful this tree is... congratulations again... ❤
I am reminded of the giant Redwoods in California. To stand at the base of the tree and look up. Those could never be transplanted. The "General Sherman" is estimated at being approximately 2,700 years old. These trees have the same kind of "old soul" feeling about them. Did you feel the same vibrations as you stood next to the olive trees?
As a Tolkein fan, my favorite characters are the Ents. Are you a fan too?
Veggies are useful, flowers are pretty, but a tree...
A tree is a sentinel, a guardian, a caretaker of the forests. I feel like there ought to be an anthem to sing for moments like this.
Thanks for sharing this with us. What a thrill.
Make sure all future workman coming to do the house know there is a massive fine for injuring our trees!!! OUR??? Why not! Yup, our trees.
The Redwoods are beautiful Abigail, you are quite right. We get very similar vibrations next to the olive trees, very special indeed. We will protect and make sure this olive tree is safe when the future workman come 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
I have to agree - the Redwood Forrest’s are the same in the vibration levels- if you know, you know.
Here is the anthem you may have been seeking all your life ...
“I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that moves the sun to shine And stands all day against the wind, With a green sweat on every branch, And God is wild to get him down.” by Joyce Kilmer was sung by the famous singer Paul Robeson, and Mario Lanza among others. (My mother sang this version to me as a child ...a real tear-jerker!! ...on YT type ... "Mario Lanza - Trees - Claude Monet")
"Trees" (1913)
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree
...I think this is the final, most popular version.
Oh my Lord I got emotional too, it looks so beautiful in its final resting place. I have a strange affinity with trees I can’t explain why, please keep us updated. Good luck to you, beautiful earth mother, whiskers 😘, Crusoe and Sawyer love from Newcastle UK x
Thanks so much friend, it was a big moment for us. We will definitely keep you updated 🫒🌳❤️🙏🏼
This episode is pure magic. Thank you for the inner joy you bought us.
Thanks Michael! Keep an eye out for the bees next Sunday… 🐝❤️😉
The tree looks perfect in the middle, the last shot showing it from the air was just what we needed to see!
