This is the argan tree of Morocco. It is
remarkable for its low-spreading mode of growth. Trees have been
measured only 16 feet in height, while the circumference of the
branches was 220 feet. The fruit is much eaten and relished by
cattle. The wood is hard and so heavy as to sink in water. A
valuable oil is extracted from the seeds.
