Argan Tree

About the Argan Tree


Argan Tree (Argania Spinosa) can only be found in the south West part of Morocco. That makes it one of the rarest in the world. The tree is very resistant and can live up to 150 to 200 years. Its roots grow deep in search of water and this helps retain the soil against heavy rain, preventing erosion and limiting the advance of the desert.

In 1999, UNESCO added the Argan Tree to the World Heritage List.

Argan trees play a vital role in maintaining the ecological balance and as well the economic situation of the population.
