Dragon tree (Dracaena draco) at San Diego Botanic Garden

San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas features a prominent dragon tree (Dracaena draco) within its subtropical plant collections; the species is noted for its thick trunk and umbrella-shaped crown. The garden (formerly Quail Botanical Gardens) lists the dragon tree among its notable specimens and includes it in plant-labeling and garden maps. The tree is part of the garden's focus on diverse, non-native ornamental species suited to the coastal climate.
