[2] This dragon tree has rigid, ribbed leaves that are pointed towards the tip and of a more bluish and grayish color than those of D. draco.

The dragon trees found are in the south of the island of Gran Canaria, in a more xeric zone than usual for Dracaena draco.

The dragon tree of Gran Canaria has been described as typical of the thermo-sclerophilic plant communities of the tropical-subtropical region.

The specimens found are located in the geologically oldest areas of the island, on generally inaccessible cliffs.
