Alexander von Humboldt, Tenerife 1799:
"Even though we knew about Franqui's dragontree from previous travellers, it's enormous thickness amazed us. We were told that this tree, mentioned in several ancient documents, served as a boundary mark and already in the 15th century was as enormous as it is today. We calculated it's height to be about 50 to 60 feet; it's circumference a little above it's roots measured 45 feet. The trunk is divided into many branches, which rise up in the form of a chandelier and end in tufts of leaves similar to the Mexican yucca.
It's juice is called dragon's blood, which nuns at La Laguna soak toothpicks in, which are praised for preserving gums."

Sehr schöne Wandermöglichkeiten gibt es in der Gegend um Las Tricias auf der Insel La Palma (Kanarische Inseln), wo man besonders prachtvolle Exemplare des Kanarischen Drachenbaums (Dracaena draco) vorfindet. Beeindruckend ist auch die Mandelblüte Ende Jänner, die zum Zeitpunkt dieser Aufnahme noch nicht begonnen hatte.
