​The Dragon Blood’s Tree From Yemen

These unique trees from Yemen are specifically native to the Island of Socotra archipelago, just off the Yemen coast. The dragon-blood tree has an extremely unusual look, with a sort of umbrella shape both beautiful and perfect for people trying to get some shade.
