Fig Trees in Formentera<\/div><\/div>\n

These trees warrant special mention, as they have become one of the symbols of this land. Their distinctive appearance is due to a growing method, by which deprivation of their main sprout is provided. As a consequence, their branches grow downwards and naturally develop widthwise.<\/p>\n

In order to sustain their thick foliage, an accurate cultivating system<\/strong> is adopted to shore them up. This consists of several sticks and rods supporting the branches. The final result is nothing but an appealing poem: as leaf-hats, these trees welcome under their shade the grazing sheep in the fields. You will for sure have the opportunity to see lots of these trees during your stay and we are sure that they won\u2019t miss the chance to catch your eye and gaze.<\/p>\n
