ATHENS-A four-centuries-old olive tree on the outskirts of the port city of Patras in western Greece was facing the axe because it was on the path of a major railway construction project led by Ergose, a subsidiary of the Hellenic Railways Organization.
Uprooting an olive tree, which for Greeks has been a symbol of peace, hope, victory and abundance since antiquity, would not go down well with the public.
Ergose, working with municipal authorities, universities and other public institutions, has found a solution. It gave new life to the old codger.
