olive-tree appears on the French and Italian wiktionaries, is there any citation for the existence of this word? Mglovesfun 01:11, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Some writers, myself included, would use "olive-tree" as the attributive form in a phrase like "olive-tree orchard", except that simply "olive orchard" seems more natural in that case, and I can't think of any cases where I'd actually use "olive tree" attributively. —RuakhTALK 06:58, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
