Silverpine

Tree type: Coniferous (Stores water in its stem)

This average-sized tree grows up to 20 meters (65.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 634 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a wide, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, waxy, silver bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is white with black speckles.

The tangled mess of branches trail down to the ground, covered with copious amounts of giant, faded purple needles. The needles themselves are durable.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, red, spiky-shelled seeds.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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