While there are several junipers of this type on the island, the most  accessible one is the Monumento a la Sabina de El Hierro, which is  found on a lookout point not far from the island's harbor. Like other  trees of its type, the tree is bent over and seems to be pulled to the  side, oddly enough, it aligns perfectly with the road and stands  parallel to the cliffside, which is typically not how the wind flows.

When visitors look a bit closer, they will spot more things that are  off. First, the tree seems dead with just tiny bits of green and large  cracks in its stem. A closer inspection reveals wires and tie wraps  holding the tree together, and also that the green that is on the tree  is painted.

Actually, this tree is not a tree at all, but a collection of juniper  branches skillfully tied together. It's a monument to the famous trees  of the island.
