Penedos, 5 years old Quercus ilex

IN OUR DRY LAND EACH TREE IS TREASURED.
FOUND THIS ONE 5 YEARS AGO, NOT TALLER THAN ONE FINGER. PROTECTED AND SIGNALIZED IT AND HERE IT IS.
WE DON’T WATER TREES IN NATURE: THEY HAVE TO GROW DEEP ROOTS TO SURVIVE DRY SEASON, WATERING THEM WOULD MAKE THEM LOOSE THEIR NATURAL DEFENSES.

It will surely survive better than most of humans, maybe still there when humanity will be exterminated... ?

Very like many parts of Australia too, Isabel. Things need to survive on (scarce) natural water.

They are adapted, nature adapts amazingly to conditions, better than we do !
