Empeltre olive trees typically begin to produce some fruit 3–5 years after planting. Expect useful yields for home use or small harvests by about 5–7 years, with consistent commercial-level production usually reached around 7–10 years and full maturity over a decade.

Time to fruiting depends on factors like whether the tree is grafted (grafted trees fruit sooner than seedlings), local climate, soil, irrigation, fertilization, pruning, and pollination. If you want, I can suggest care practices to speed up and improve yield or recommend compatible pollinator varieties.

Horta de Sant Joan must be the town with the most Monumental Trees in Catalonia, there is a giant tree located about 500m from the exit from Horta towards Bot, it is accessed by a path that starts on the right at the foot of the road, at kilometer point 3. We must follow 50 meters to the buildings, from where a path emerges that takes us to the lower terrace on the right, where the tree is located. Lo Parot was declared a monumental tree in 1990. It has a trunk circumference of 1.30 m from the ground of 7.45 m and a stump circumference of 15 m. The diameter of the current crown is 9 m, although before the Civil War it occupied the entire width of the terrace where it is located.

It is an olive tree (Olea europea) of a variety unknown today, which is characterized by having leaves and fruit that are slightly longer than the variety called Empeltre, traditionally cultivated throughout the region and in Lower Aragon. Regarding its age, it is believed that it is a tree with more than two thousand years old (2000 yrs ).
