Crimson Leaf Tree

This average-sized tree grows up to 15 meters (49.2 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 529 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, slanted trunk covered in knobbly, dark gray bark, and inside, the light wood is pine-coloured.

The small bunches of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of clammy, giant, asymmetrical leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are found in aquamarine and crimson varieties.

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

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with clear space between them.
