Dracaena draco

Common Name: Dragon's Blood Tree

Dracaena draco, the Dragon Tree, is from the Canary

Islands. Only a few individuals can be found growing

naturally, and these are mainly on the islands of Tenerife

and La Palma, growing in dry bush at the low elevations of

 the islands' rocky mountain ranges. It's a Palm-like tree

when young, evergreen, slowly growing to 10-30 feet tall.



The plant is related to Agave, and looks like one when

young. At this stage, it's used as a houseplant. It slowly

develops a thick trunk, making it look more like a Palm.

The Dragon trees tend to stay unbranched for many years

 before expanding as a tree. It is the flowering that

causes the stem to branch. Flowering may take 10-15

years to begin, after which the tree begins to branch,

creating the much-divided crown so characteristic of

specimens several decades old. The bark is initially smooth

 and gray, becoming scaly.

The leaves are stiff but flexible, numerous at the ends of

the very stout branches, 2 feet long and 1 1/2 inches

wide, sharp pointed tip and gray-green. The hundreds of

 small, fragrant, creamy-white, bell-shaped flowers are

borne in branched spike in early Summer.



Above: In it's natural habitat.  This tree is said to be over a thousand years old.

The flowers are followed by orange berries. The fruits are

 pea-sized, and very fleshy. It has a sap that hardens to a

dark red. People call the sap Dragon's Blood. The sap is

sometimes used as a fake stone in jewelry.
