Flame Willow

This modest-sized tree grows up to 29 meters (95.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 539 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, curved trunk covered in very thick, silky, brown and grey bark, and inside, the very hard wood is brown.

The small bunches of branches are long, thin and wispy and are covered with small bunches of crispy, small, long, narrow leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are aquamarine and blood red.

In early spring, it produces a handful of small, copper blossoms with flame-shaped shaped petals. They are hardy and have a soft scent that smells like alcohol.

In late summer it forms small, gold, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with grassy ground between them.
