Yes, they do grow on trees! In fact, olive trees can grow very tall. They range in height from 26-50 feet at maturity... making the harvest of the taller varietals of olive a very dangerous job. Something perhaps not well known is that raw olives, while not poisonous, aren't edible. Freshly picked olives are far too bitter for human consumption. As a result, olives go through a brining process also known as "curing" before their delicious, nutritious benefits are consumed as food. However, olive oil can be consumed from pressings of raw fruit. Bon appetite!
they grow on olive trees all over the Mediterranean as
well as in any sunny warm climate they are transplanted to.
Very popular in the American west as they grow fast and
are hearty enough for the extreme soil variances.

Yes, black olives are grown on olive trees. The black and green olive comes off the same tree. It is when they are picked and processed that makes them black or green. One of the biggest olive tree areas in the states is in CA and southern Italy in the world.
Green olives are a little unripe, but still ready to eat. Black olives are the same olives, but much riper. Green olives turn black as they mature.

YES!!! The Kalamata olive has a MUCH stronger, saltier taste than your typical Spanish black olive. If you want something a little bit weaker in taste than the Kalamata go with a green olive, or stick with the black olives you find at the grocery store (they have the weakest taste). If you do want the best Kalamata or Greek Green Olives, I found that Martinis brand has the best taste, at the lowest price. And their olives are straight from Greece, and Kosher certified (incase that matters). You can find them on amazon.com or shop.martinisinc.com.
A couple of items work in a pinch, although there is no true substitute,1. Try Capers2. Pickled Peppers make a good alternativeBoth of these impart their flavor when cooking - so add them at the same time they specify the olives
Yes. Mexico started planting olive trees since 50-60 years ago, thus many trees are still growing and production is relatively small. Annual production of olives for 2010 was of approximately 14,400 tonnes, which pales against the largest producer in the world: Spain with 8.01 million tonnes during that same year.
