Dracaena draco, the Canary Islands Dragon Tree or Drago is a subtropical Dragon Tree native to the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, Madeira, and locally in western Morocco, and introduced to the Azores.
Dracaena draco is a monocot with a tree-like growth habit currently placed in the asparagus family. It is not a real tree. When young it has a single stem. At about 10–15 years of age the stems stops growing and produces a flower spike with white, lily-like perfumed flowers, followed by coral berries. Soon a crown of terminal buds appear and the plant starts branching. Each branch grows for about 10–15 years and re-branches, so a mature plant has an umbrella-like habit.
It grows slowly, requiring about ten years to reach 1.2 metres (4 ft) in height but can grow much faster.
When the bark or leaves are cut they secrete a reddish resin, one of the sources of the substance known as Dragon's blood. The red resin of this tree is richly fragrant and of a much higher quality than the resin from Calamus draco.
It is hardy in USDA Zones 9-12.
Each package of seeds comes with growing instructions.
