The Drago Milenario grows in Icod de los Vinos on the north of Tenerife. It is approximately 18 m high. The trunk circumference at the base is approximately 20 m.
Past estimates cited over 3000 years. Current estimates state approximately 700 years. The margin of error is 100-150 years. The dragon tree does not form rings like ordinary trees. This makes the exact age difficult to determine.
The tree has held the status of national monument (Monumento Nacional) since 1917.
