Dracaena draco, also known as the
“Dragon Tree”, or “Dragon’s Blood Tree” is a drought-tolerant tree-like plant
that can grow to become a stunning garden specimen or indoor plan. Native to
the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, and Madeira, Dracaena draco
grows a ringed succulent trunk topped by clustered flexible sword-like
blue-green leaves. Generally unbranched until it flowers, Dracaena draco then
produces branches from the sides of its inflorescence. The leaf scars on its
trunk resemble a reptile’s skin, and when cut, the tree ‘bleeds’ a deep red sap
known as ‘Dragons Blood’. The dark red sap was regarded for centuries in
European legends as the blood of dragons and was often used for its supposed
magical and medicinal qualities. This resin is still used today to produce
incense and varnishes used to stain and polish wood. Dracaena draco is the
symbol of the island of Tenerife. It grows well in full sun or part shade,
and needs good drainage. It adapts well to container growing, and is hardy down
to the low 20s or high teens Fahrenheit. Hardy and drought tolerant, Dracaena
draco can adapt well to extreme heat, winds and ocean salty weather.
