Silverwood

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its stem)

This modest-sized tree grows up to 37 meters (121.4 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 429 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a stocky, straight trunk covered in silky, silver bark, and inside, the very dense wood is dark brown.

The abundance of branches are long and slender and are covered with sparse amounts of smooth, huge, perforated leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are crimson at the bottom and black with turquoise streaks at the top.

In late summer it forms tiny, cream, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with grassy ground between them.

It is suitable for making strong rope
The stems are covered in large spikes.
The sap causes severe allergic reactions.
