Dracaena draco, also known as the Dragon Tree, is a truly remarkable plant native to the Canary Islands and nearby regions. With its thick trunk, spiky leaves, and umbrella-like canopy, this tree is easily recognizable. One of its most fascinating features is the red resin it produces, famously referred to as "dragon's blood," which has been valued throughout history for its medicinal properties and use as a dye.
This highly drought-tolerant plant thrives in arid environments and well-draining soil, making it a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor settings. Its cultural significance in the Canary Islands cannot be overstated, as it symbolizes longevity and resilience. Some Dragon Trees, such as the renowned Dragon Tree of Icod de los Vinos, are believed to be centuries old.
The Dragon Tree is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN, meaning it faces a high risk of extinction in the wild due to habitat loss, over-exploitation, and climate change.

Dracaena is a genus of about 120 species of trees and succulent shrubs. In the APG IV classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae). It has also formerly been separated (sometimes with Cordyline) into the family Dracaenaceae or placed in the Agavaceae (now Agavoideae). The majority of the species are native to Africa, southern Asia through to northern Australia, with two species in tropical Central America. The segregate genus Pleomele is now generally included in Dracaena. R_23901
