It grows on Calle Palos de la Frontera in Seville and is around 300 years old. As a large, evergreen tree, it reaches heights of up to 55 meters with a trunk diameter of up to 2 meters. It is also characterized by numerous buttress roots, many meters high, star-shaped, mostly rib-like roots from the trunk. The round crown is widely spreading. Numerous aerial roots form from the branches, which, when long enough, take root in the ground.
