From the Portuguese laurel (Prunus lusitanica), says Wikipedia: It was missing in the Basque Country, but after finding some specimens, it is now on the list of endangered species. It's a special plant on our land. It likes temperate and wet places, river surroundings, low fog areas... Like all other species of the genus Prunus (peach, apricot, blackthorn, plum, almond, paraguayan, cherry, ginda, gallo...), it contains bone in the fruit. It's bitter, even when you grab it, and you don't eat it! It's the trunk of the crickets, the eyes, the cheeks, the cheeks, the cheeks!

Do we ever start making the way to turn that tree into a tree? If the work done for thousands of years with all the other fruit trees had been done with this, we would already be eating the grains of that bay. The road is not difficult, but it's very long: choosing the ones we like in the trees. And reelection. And the re-election among descendants. It's a continuous selection of fruit trees. Our taste is changing and we like new things. We distinguish the point of elegance from the one that has achieved something before anyone...

In the path of choice, the fruit is one of the brands that is sought: from the small, rough, bitter and late fruits, we distinguish the sweetest fruits, a little larger, a little more fleshy, of finer skin, with finer indicators. Those who give that fruit at some point: those who start giving it the youngest, those who tend to give many grains, those who give it every year, or those who do...

The shape of the tree can also be another brand of selection: the small, with a little dense foliage... Their ability to adapt to the land can also be decisive: lovers of acidic lands, which can reach on limestone grounds...From the Portuguese
laurel specimens that have been found in our lands, perhaps one day some Basque can say that he is the only one in the world to produce fruits of this species. And the first. Like before with the kiwi. And like many apples, pears, hazelnuts, nuts, etc.

We will also have to guess his name, we will not call him “Igalia del laurel Portuguese”... With Portugal we always owe something, but... I propose “zozaran”, the valley of the myrrh.
