De oudste drakenbloedboom van de wereld

What a nice name that tree has.! Cool photos

@Madeleine Thankyou.

Impressive tree with a name that reminds of a fairy tale. Dragon tree. So it's because of the sap that seeps out when damaged. Nice that you were able to see this super old tree with your own eyes. The photos you took were very successful.
Impressive, such an old tree. If he could talk, he had a lot to say.
He now lives on in a quiet place.

@Toto Animo Yes, I would also like to exchange a word.

wow what a beautiful tree. I've never heard of it. I'm glad I can get acquainted now. And especially the top row on the left photo, I really love that.

@marijke Have to zoom in a bit, because you are not allowed to stand under it. The tree is protected.

Wow! It's very rare for a tree to get that old. I hope they will leave it for a long time. Respect for nature.

@Kinderworkshops Petra He is protected so I think he still has many years to go.

Sometimes a beech, linden or oak also manages to grow very old. But unfortunately, those trees are cut down over time because they stand in the way or because of the wood.

@Leo 1 It can also be done differently. For this, a new road was specially built through the village, so that heavy traffic does not have to pass close to it, otherwise it would suffer too many heavy vibrations.

The Dracaena draco is rare and, like most life on Earth, is threatened with extinction. The oldest tree is the Jamon and has been growing on a Japanese island for 5000 years.

@Rudy Siedlecki 🌳 Thanks for the addition. As a tree expert, this is probably your thing !
Is that a different variant in Japan than ? Because here they claim that this is the oldest.

Beautiful, such an ancient tree. What would he have to say if he could speak? ? Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes apparently survived, and many adaptations and peoples

@Live_love_laugh Yes, I'd like to have a chat with it !

I always love that, the idea that trees have already 'experienced' so much of history. Other species, such as olive trees, can get much older!

@ellesvandenbroek Yes, then they also look fantastic, twisting and sometimes with an opening in the trunk.
