 Dracaena

Height: 10m
Spread: 10m
The Dragon Tree is an evergreen
tree with stiff lance-shaped leaves, slow growing. Mature trees
bear orange berries, after which the tree may become branched
(see picture).
Prefers a sunny aspect and
will not tolerate frosts.
Care: Leaves die back from
the bottom up. Dead leaves can be removed with a sharp downwards
tug (it is advisable to wear gloves when doing so) if the leaf
resists leave it for a week or two.
This specimen can be found
on the Paseo between Castillo and the Port just behind the Las
Gaviotas chiringuito.
