Rumour has it that a new one is planted when a baby daughter is born.

They are frequently planted to indicate a boundary between properties, especially in the olive groves where there are no fences.
They also form a cash crop when mature as the timber is very saught after.

Another reason why these particular trees were used for boundaries, is because they are flexible & rarely fall in high winds ......... they were used as a barrier to protect other more delicate crops & fruit trees from the elements.
