#7  These must have been newly planted trees- mature olives are unbelievably tough- they are like high tensile steel.

#5  And I thought only Caterpillar tractors could uproot them! Silly me. I sure hope this news doesn't hurt their stock price.

#4  IIRC, the Koran expressly forbids the destruction of fruit trees.

Speaking of which, digging up even *one* tree is hard work. Can you imagine what *40* trees must feel like?
