This island, Socotra, is so beautiful, so surrealistic, like from a dream. Our planet is a very diverse garden in space, it's a wonderful place. Too bad man dont realize how we trash it, our home, the only one we have.
These trees exists also in Cape Verde Islands. I have seen pictures of these trees in the Island of Sao Nicolau. I would like also to have seeds, if their propagation is by seed. Would like to grow one in Florida. They are so beautiful. I love those bottle trees also from Socotra.
@Oleolenorman You can buy their seeds online for very cheap prices. I have got some on order as I type, I am planning on making a bonsei tree from them, I just hope it will do ok in the UK, I might have to make it some green house area in my garden I'll see how it goes. I love those tentacle like branches under its cannopy make it a good looking tree. Can't wait for them to get here.
@Danielst16 I'm not sure you'd be able to "bonsai them". The tentalce branches that you like, only occur each time after the plant flowers - which only occurs when the plant reaches quite a large size they look more like a yucca when they're young.
In the Soquotri language, it is translated "brother's blood". It is called this because they say that when Cain killed Abel (in the Bible and Quran), his blood fell onto the ground. A tree grew where his blood fell. Now, if you cut the bark of the tree, the sap looks just like blood.
wonder why they are called dragon blood lol these trees look like umbrellas ;) very cute!!!!

@Danielst16 How is your tree doing?
I just got some seeds off eBay and I'm looking to grow it here in London.
I don't have a garden so I'm not sure how well it will do on my window sill. My Bodhi tree has done pretty well so far.
