Caramel Maple

This small tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 175 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a thick, twisting trunk covered in hard, rough, silver and white bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is yellow.

The branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of crispy, giant, broad, flat leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are found in caramel and caramel varieties.

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

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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