Bcheale, Bchealeh or Bechealeh is a village in the Batroun District of the North Governorate, Lebanon.[1][2]
Carol Drinkwater has claimed that two olive trees in Bcheale have been "scientifically dated at between six and seven thousand years old".[3] A claim which, if verified would make them the oldest trees in the world.[4]
