Single large tree growing on the roadside. Growing under/against a large gum tree, suggesting that it was spread by birds

@MichaelMulvaney This was definitely only common olive (Olea europea), not the african subspecies (Olea europea cuspidata), as it lacked a yellow underside to the leaves. There are common olives planted on the uni campus, so likely they spread from there
