“I went to the woods because I wished to live

deliberately, address only the facts of life and

see if I could learn what she had to teach. I

wanted to live deep and discard anything that

is not life ... To not realize at the time of his

death, he had not lived.” Henry David Thoreau

PINSAPO (Abies pinsapo Boiss)

The pinsapo is a hardy tree that can reach 30

meters. Has a conical bearing branches are

arranged horizontally. For register] he leaves

spirally on the twigs, the whole is cylindrical.

They bloom in spring. In September or October

the blunders, which are erect and cylindrical,

mature and dismantle spreading the seeds.

It is located on mountain slopes and summits

Pine (Pinus pinea L.)Medium-sized tree. Adults have the

umbrella-shaped crown. Its bark is

composed of plates separated by

cracks reddish gray. It has well-

developed secondary roots to extract

water from deeper layers.

Juveniles have [as blue-green leaves

and those of adults show a light green

living. It blooms in spring, no pine nuts

ripen, it can maintain its ability to

germinate for several years.

It is a long-lived tree, reaching up to

500 years to live

Prefers sandy soils, deep and rich. Lives in interior and coastal dunes,

supporting strong winds, including coastal salt impregnated. Does not

require a lot of rain, but requires full sun.

The oak tree is more characteristic

of Spain. Cup is wide, rounded and

dense, with shallow roots that can

emit shoots. The leaves are

evergreen and almost round.

Usually flowers in spring and spread

the fruits in autumn. The acorn is a

long oval, with a very short stalk and

a dome, like a cap that covers the

base.

It has a fast growing and is one of

my long-lived trees, being able to

find individuals with 700-800 years.

It presents a wide ecological amplitude. It

grows in all soil types especially limestone,

resistant to cold, heat and drought, and is

located to 1,400 meters above sea level.

Isolated individuals and shrubs can reach

up to 1,900 meters.

SOUTH OAK (Quercus rotundifolia Lam.)

CAROB (Ceratonia siliqua L.)

Ceratonia The name refers to the shape of a

horn with fruits and siliqua is the name of

carob and other fruit is a pod.

The carob tree is a little high, generally does

not exceed six meters, gray bark, broad

crown and thick evergreen leaves and

compound. The fruit, carob is a legume

seeds elongated shiny and hard.

It flowers in autumn. The completion of the

seeds is difficult. It's kind of slow growth and

poor support transplantation.

It adapts to all soil types but prefers the

limestone. Supports well the drought but not

cold, so preferably installed in low areas and

sheltered.

Usually found as small stands or mixed with

other species, notably oak and cork oak.

Wild Olive Tree (Olea europaea var. Sylvestris)

The wild olive tree is a dense rounded

crown, but usually present horn bush. The

branches are thorny ends and the leaves

are laceoladas and perennials. Flowers in

clusters, are white. The fruit, the

acebuchina, is a drupe ellipsoid, slightly

fleshy, blackish at maturity.

It blooms in May or June and the fruits

ripen in autumn and winter. It's a very long-

lived species.

The olive tree is thermophilic, resisting

drought and heat, but sensitive to frost

frequent and intense. It prefers rich soils

and basic and low-lying areas, although in

the Andalusian mountains bound itself to

1,500 meters.

THE MIERA JUNIPER (Juniperus oxycedrus L.)

Although usually a shrub or small tree 3 to

5 meters, known copies of 20 m. It rnuy

branched and has a pointed crown. The

bark peels off in sheets or narrow strips

rnuy developed roots, allow them to fasten

even rocks. The leaves, which are

triverticiladas is Anqui have an almost

straight with the branches. Flowers at the

beginning of spring and the fruit ripens the

second year, which is abayas, globose and

red.

Need light, as is found in

mushrooms and sun-drenched

slopes of the mountains. It

develops on all soil types,

selecting the loose and rocky.

It is very resistant to cold and

drought.

The cork oak is an

evergreen tree and middle

class that highlights its thick,

spongy bark, cork, made up

of dead plant material.

When uncorked, the trunk

appears smooth and

reddish. The crown is

irregular or umbrella-

shaped.

Flowering is continuous,

since April even fall. acorns

have annual maturation in

three stages, the first in

September, the second in

autumn and the third in late

January.

Achieves its optimum

ecoi6gico siliceous soils,

loose and fresh, warm and

temperate climates,

something wet and no

frost, tempered by the sea.

Choose low elevation

slopes sheltered from

northerly winds.

Where compliance with

these requirements as their

own forests, cork oak

forests, displacing the oak.

But normally found dehesa.

Cork oak (Quercus suber L.)

MORA sabina (Juniperus phoenicea L.)

It is an evergreen shrub or small sapling,

up to 8 m. high. The crown is dense, very

similar to the cypress. The trunk may

appear twisted or bent by the wind and

years. the leaves are tiny and are closely

tied to the branches. Flowering occurs in

late winter or spring. Originate a fleshy

fruits globose, green at first and that after

maturing next year turn red.

It takes place in all soil types and

conditions. Usually in such inhospitable

places as coastal dunes, volcanic soil and

rock fissures. It can handle very dry

climates, frost and strong winds.

MELOJO (Quercus pyrenaica Willd.)

The horn is usually presented melojo a sapling, but can be a tree of medium

height and broad crown. Has highly developed the ability to sprout from the

roots surface. The leaves are deciduous and are split in 4 to 8 pairs of deep,

irregular lobes. Has its flowering in May or June, and acorns, bitter taste, ripen

in autumn, as the gall, also may have guts.

This oak is well adapted to continental climates, frost and drought enduring. It is

located mainly on the slopes and foothills siliceous, between 400 and 1,500

meters.

"Each generation takes the Earth as

trustees. We ought to bequeath to posterity

as many forests and orchards as we have

exhausted and consumed."

J. Sterling Morton

"The forest is a peculiar organism of

unlimited kindness and benevolence that

makes no demands for sustenance and

extends generously the products of its life

and activity, and offers protection to all

beings."

Buddhist Sutra
