    The Drago Milenario dragon tree in Icod de los Vinos is said to be 1000 years old.
    According to botanists, however, it is only 500 to 600 years old. Its real age can only be estimated, as it is not actually a tree, but an agave plant, and these do not form annual rings from which one can determine the age.
    It has a circumference of 6 meters and is 17 meters high, making it the largest and oldest dragon tree in the world.

    The dragon tree is the landmark of Tenerife. The plant is not a tree in the traditional sense, but a gnarled asparagus or Agavegewächs. The tree only flowers every 15 years from July to August. The El Drago is located in a park that was created around it with island-typical plants and is one reason for the large rush of visitors in Icod de los Vinos. Do not miss this sight.
