¿Tiene España un arbol nacional?
While looking up the national trees of various countries I was surprised to find that I could find nothing for the country of Spain. I could be wrong but the fact of the matter is that Spain may not have a national tree as an emblem.
There are trees that are important symbols regionally
In Madrid there is the Madroño or Strawberry tree (arbutus unedo). If you have ever seen the symbol of the bear standing on its hind legs leaning against a small tree - the tree is the Madroño.
In Málaga there is the Pinsapo or Spanish fir (abies pinsapo). These sightly fir trees only grow in the wild in a small area of the Sierra de las Nieves near Ronda.
In the Basque Country there is the Oak (Quercus robur) The Oak tree of Guernica has been an important symbol for at least 300 years.
In Extremadura there is the Encina or Holm Oak (quercus ilex)
In Jaen there is the Olive tree. When driving through the region of Jean there are places where all you can see is Olive trees all the way to the horizon in every direction as if you were in the middle of a sea of Olive trees.
In the Canary Islands there is the Drago (dracaena draco)
the Canary Island Pine and the Canary Island Date Palm
In Soria there is the Enebro (Sabina) or Spanish Juniper
Does anyone know if Spain has a national tree? If so please leave a comment
