Field Notes

Description:

Dragon tree (22 m high, lower trunk diameter 10 m, estimated weight 70 t), which is reputed to be a thousand years old. While no study seems to have confirmed such longevity for the tree (dracos do not produce annual rings with which to tell their ages) the tree is more likely to have an age in the hundreds of years. Nevertheless, it is the oldest anda largest drago tree known

Habitat:

Icod de los Vinos, Tenerife. In a house garden.
