Al-Mihrass is a type of olive tree notable for its size and age. The care of these ancient trees including grafting, pruning, fertilizing and harvesting requires traditional knowledge and skills that have been passed down through generations. The olive harvest takes place between October and early November, with families and neighbours coming together to collect the fruit by hand and with rakes. The harvest is accompanied by social customs, songs and communal activities. After harvesting, farmers and their families tend to the trees year-round to maintain their health. Other practitioners include operators of traditional and modern olive oil presses, local craftspeople, and artists who celebrate the tree through their work.
