Dracaena draco is a woody, evergreen tree monocot that can grow to about 10-15 m in height (but exceptionally up to 21 m tall and up to 15 m in circumference at the base of the trunk).
Both trunk and branches produce large, compact clusters of silvery gray leaves.
Generally has a large central trunk that with age may develop a number of side branches subtending a hugely wide semi globose umbrella-shaped canopy.
Not to be confused with Dracaena cinnabari, the Dragon Blood Tree native to Socotra.
