The Garoé or water tree on the island of El Hierro has been represented graphically on numerous occasions. Particularly important is the copper engraving published in the famous travel collection begun by Theodor de Bry in 1590, however, the great difficulty of tracing its different editions and variants has led to various errors and imprecisions in the literature. To clarify the situation, in this work I identify the two plates of the engraving used in the collection and determine up to nine plates produced by the firm from these two plates.
