Dracaena draco - (Dragon tree)
Latin name: Dracaena draco
Family name: Asparagaceae
Naming by country / language
Arabic: أيدع تنيني
Deutsch: Kanarische Drachenbaum / Drachenbaum / Drachenblutbaum
English: Canary Islands dragon tree / Blood dragon tree / Dragon tree / Drago
Francais: Dragonnier des Canaries / Dragonnier commun
Nederlands: Drakenbloedboom
Spanish: Drago
World
Dracaena draco is native to the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Madeira, and locally in western Morocco, and introduced to the Azores. It is the natural symbol of the island of Tenerife.
Lifetime
The oldest Dracaena draco called "El Drago Milenario" (the thousand-year-old dragon) grows in northwest Tenerife. Its age was estimated in 1975 to be around 250 years, with a maximum of 365 years, not several thousand as had previously been claimed. It is also the largest Dracaena draco tree alive. Its massive trunk comes from the contribution of clusters of aerial roots that emerge from the bases of lowest branches and grow down to the soil. One Dracaena draco on Teneriffe reached over 6,000 years old before is was destruction by a hurricane in 1867.
Height
When young it has a single stem. At about 10 - 15 years of age the stem stops growing and starts branching. Each branch grows for about 10 - 15 years and re-branches. It grows slowly, requiring about 10 years to reach 1.2 m (4 ft) in height. The famous Dracaena draco in northwest Tenerife is 22 m high and it’s lower trunk is 10 m in diameter.
Differentiate
There is considerable genetic variation within the Canary Island dragon trees. The form found on Gran Canaria is now treated as a separate species, Dracaena tamaranae, based on differences in flower structure.
Flowers
At about 10 - 15 years of age the stem stops growing and produces a first flower spike with white, lily-like perfumed flowers, followed by coral berries. Soon a crown of terminal buds appears and the plant starts branching. Unfortunately, the plant may never flower indoors or outdoors in certain regions.
Seeds
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.
Leaves
From the top the plant produces a cluster of blue-green leaves that may grow up to 60cm (23 in) long and 5cm (2 in) wide. The leaves are somewhat severe, stiffly pointed that end in something resembling a spike. The old leaves die and the stem gradually unveils with a scaly pattern.
Wood
Dracaena draco being a monocotyledon, it does not display any annual or growth rings so the age of the tree can only be estimated by the number of branching points before reaching the canopy.
Chemicals
When the bark or leaves are cut they secrete a reddish resin, known as dragon's blood. Red resins from this tree contain many mono- and dimeric flavans that contribute to the red color of the resins.
Medicine
The aboriginal inhabitants of the Canary Isles used it to mummify their dead. Dragon's blood is also used in traditional medicine: It was taken internally to treat diarrhea, and is also used externally to heal wounds. It was also taken to prevent scurvy, a disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C in the diet.

    This plant is highly highly invasive. Has the taproot from hell and will take over native plants if your property has any shaded, wooded areas. It’s nearly taken over my 5 acres. In my areas it is on the noxious weed watch list. BEWARE

    Hummingbirds love it And sorry to tell, but your plant have some serious nutritional deficiencies or maybe some fungi attack It indeed can reach 3 meters high in search of sun light, but without competition some 2 to 2,5 meters are more usual You can expect the triple of fruits BTW, how much are your asking for the seeds over there?

    When you find them and they have the purplish blue is it purple and blue because of zinc so if you have a problem with retaining zinc or getting zinc inside your body like maybe having ulcers that reopen constantly would it be beneficial to consume when it is purple and maybe only just the purple and maybe not too much of its small amounts

    Awesome for use as ground cover in the woods. I bought a house with about 3 acres of woods and this was everywhere under the trees. It doesn't grow out into my lawn or across my gravel driveway. I think it doesn't grow into my lawn because I mow my lawn, and it doesn't like that.
