Crimsoncling Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This small tree grows up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 319 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, straight trunk covered in cracked, gray bark, and inside, the flexible wood is mahogany-coloured.

The large clumps of branches are short stubs and are covered with thick bunches of rough, large, asymmetrical leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are emerald with red tips.

In early spring, it produces large amounts of small, grey blossoms with 5 heart-shaped shaped petals. They are hardy and have a scent that varies in strength that smells like rainy days.

In late summer it forms giant, dull orange seed pods.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with grassy ground between them.
