As its English name \"Wild African Olive\" implies, it is wild and native to all of Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom spring to summer, the tree bears sweetly scented blossoms, and only a few years later does it produce small fruits. The entire plant is usable. The hard wood is prized for furniture, and the fruits are consumed by the surrounding ecosystem, including humans. The leaves are used both as a tea and in medicine. Since ancient times, the leaves have been used to strengthen the immune system, lower blood pressure, combat viral, fungal, and bacterial infections, and much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its well-groomed form and robust growth, the African wild olive is a popular bonsai and landscape tree, suitable both as a windbreak and as a freestanding specimen. In the Platbos, one of the few remaining areas of South Africa's Afro-temperate lowland forests, there are one or two ancient wild olive trees estimated to be almost a thousand years old. The African wild olive is protected in South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design is intended to show how related and close the African and European worlds are to each other – despite the distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Botanik Serie:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe Botanik Serie is a collection where fresh and vibrant colours were deliberately chosen to accentuate the radiant effect of the organic silk.
