Brownleaf Tree

This small tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 146 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a knobbly, slanted trunk covered in thick, wrinkled, brown and grey bark, and inside, the hard wood is dark brown.

The branches trail down across the ground and are covered with thick bunches of clammy, tiny, broad, flat leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are either beige or lime, with bronze zig-zags.

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

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
