Dragon Tree
The dragon tree is a popular weird shaped tree in Canary Island because of its unique appearance: its branches and roots form an umbrella-like shape. The tree is estimated to be 700 years old.
The fruit of this tree was once the food of the flightless bird. This characteristic is due to the tree’s geometric root system, which works like an ant colony.
The roots grow downward in circles, splitting and branching along the way, creating a complex network that covers the substrate.
