A large, umbrella-shaped Phytolacca dioica (ombú) standing against Ostuni’s whitewashed urban backdrop. Photograph textural bark, sweeping canopy silhouettes, and contrast with nearby buildings. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm backlight and long shadows; spring–summer shows full foliage. Easy street access on Corso Maggiore Antonio Ayroldi with nearby public parking; no entry fee. Weekdays are quieter. The tree is an exotic civic landmark—use the town’s white walls to emphasize form.
