Aquametal Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its leaves)

This short tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 489 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a wide, curved trunk covered in smooth, brown-green speckled bark, and inside, the very light wood is burgundy-brown.

The sparse amount of branches are very short and thick and are covered with very large amounts of waxy, giant, stiff, pointed leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are aquamarine on the sides and copper at the center.

In late summer it forms large, red seed pods.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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