Palm tree reflecting in a pond. Parque del Drago, Icod, Tenerife.
In Icod stands the famous dragon tree (22 m high, lower trunk diameter 10 m, estimated weight 70 t), which is reputed to be a thousand years old (hence its local name, El Drago Milenario: the Thousand-Year-Old Dragon). While no study seems to have confirmed such longevity for the tree (dracos do not produce annual rings with which to tell their ages; the tree is more likely to have an age in the hundreds of years). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracaena_draco
