The Pistacia lentiscus tree that stands next to the intersection of highways C-31 and C-66, not far from the Mas Oller winery, is one of the monumental trees in Catalonia, nature's monuments that are all protected heritage sites.

The height of the Pistacia lentiscus is 5.5 m and the trunk thickness is 1.9 m, while the average diameter of the crown is 8.0 m. The tree has been drying out for many years now, but periodic trimmings help prolong its life. The main branches are supported by metal braces to prevent breakage and collapse.
