    Tips

    December 19, 2022

    The Ortigal or Bandolero Cork Oak is on the list of Singular Trees of the Community of Madrid, within the environmental space of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park. The ancient specimen has two independent trunks with a perimeter of two meters each, reaches about 12 meters in height with a 14-meter crown, with an estimated age between 400 and 500 years. Surely it has survived for so long because its roots are hooked between the spurs and channels of a vertical cliff that is difficult to access; it is literally hanging from the rock, one of La Pedriza's forest jewels.

      Its height and trunk truly draw attention.
