Pino llorón del Himalaya, Remarkable tree in Royal Botanical Garden, Madrid, Spain.

The Himalayan Weeping Pine stands 23.5 meters tall with a trunk diameter of 46 centimeters and crown spread of 8 meters.

The pine was introduced to Europe in the 1820s as an ornamental tree, originating from the high altitudes of the Himalayan mountain range.

This specimen forms part of the Landscape of Light, which UNESCO designated as a World Heritage site in July 2021.

The tree requires metal support bars and concrete structures to maintain its stability due to its natural inclination.

In its native habitat, the pine's needles condense atmospheric moisture, creating a continuous drip that gives it the name weeping pine.

Location: Madrid

Part of: Paseo del Prado and Buen Retiro, a landscape of Arts and Sciences
