The Dragon’s Blood Tree grows on a desert island of Socotra, a small island in the Arabian Sea 150 miles east of the Horn of Africa. How it has survived there for millions of years is quite clever.
There is very little actual soil on the rocky island, which has been called “the most alien-looking place on earth.” Millions of years ago it was a lush tropical island, but climates do change. As other vegetation succumbed to desertification, the Dragon’s Blood Tree, with its waxy upturned leaves, collected moisture from occasional morning mists arriving from the sea. The tiny droplets ran down the tree’s many branches to its roots, and other droplets fell to the ground and were shaded by the huge green umbrella above; a perfect example of survival through adaptation.

Socotra was home to a lost Christian society, cut off since the Dark ages. The Portguese were flabbergasted when they discovered the island, and delighted to find Christians on the far side of Arabia.

The Portuguese arrival drew the attention of the mainland Arabs. Oman secured the Island and largely forced them to convert.

At least they left the trees.
