It lives in Laurisilva, a type of laurel forest. It is found in the Canary islands, Madeira and the Azores. It is an evergreen fragrant tree of considerable size, which is indigenous to the Macaronesian archipelago. It has medicinal virtues and was sacred to the Bimbaches, the older inhabitants of El Hierro in the Canary Islands and was one of its symbols. Due to its location, where tradewinds occur, the water from the clouds is condensed from the branches from the trees which later produce rain. The legend asserts that the Garoé assured the life of the Bimbaches by providing them with water in sufficient amounts for their survival. The Bimbaches used the tree to fill water chaffs for transportion to all parts of the island. The original tree fell in a storm in 1610. Clouds continue to pass through the summits of the island and, during foggy days, produce the observable phenomenon of horizontal rain.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50718347329883,"sku":"P-6-011434","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-011434a_a6db46ed-5267-474f-8133-51fba5f106b8.jpg?v=1780947777"},{"product_id":"islas-canarias-tenerife-palma-gran-canaria-fuerteventura-lanzarote-1914-map-p-6-019934","title":"ISLAS CANARIAS.
