Discover the enchanting allure of Dracaena draco, the majestic Dragon Tree native to the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Madeira, and Morocco. Known as the natural emblem of Tenerife, alongside the Blue Chaffinch, this extraordinary tree-like plant is revered for its striking form and fascinating history. A true testament to nature's artistry, the Dragon Tree boasts a slow growth rate, reaching heights of 4 feet in about a decade. When it matures, it develops an iconic umbrella-like crown, adding a touch of exotic elegance to landscapes. Appreciated for both its ornamental and environmental value, Dracaena draco thrives in parks, gardens, and drought-tolerant, sustainable landscapes, earning the esteemed Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

What sets this botanical wonder apart is its mythical red resin, known as dragon's blood. Traditional lore heralds its medicinal properties, though it wasn't recognized until the 15th century. The famed "El Drago Milenario" in Tenerife, estimated to be 250 to 365 years old, is a testament to the enduring marvel of this species. With its aerial roots forming a magnificent trunk, Dracaena draco stands as a captivating symbol of resilience and timeless beauty. Embrace this stunning piece of nature in your landscape designs today.
