Dragon Tree
The Dragon Tree, scientifically known as Dracaena draco, is a unique evergreen tree native to the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, and parts of Morocco. It is characterized by its distinctive umbrella-shaped crown and thick, spiky leaves. The tree can grow up to 20 meters tall and is known for its striking appearance and longevity, often living for hundreds of years.
One of the most notable features of the Dragon Tree is its red sap, commonly referred to as "dragon's blood." This resin has been used historically in traditional medicine and as a dye. The Dragon Tree is also valued for its ornamental qualities, making it a popular choice in gardens and landscapes around the world.
