#2 Grain crops are the outcome of a single year's work, but olive trees can take over a decade to produce their first crop. I have to suspect there is a Koranic prohibition against destroying olive groves, just as there is of despoiling wells... and both equally honoured in the breach by pious Muslims and national socialistic Arabs in times of war.
