Aqualumine Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its leaves)

This modest-sized tree grows up to 7 meters (23.0 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 433 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a branched, straight trunk covered in knobbly, yellow-brown bark, and inside, the hard wood is white.

The branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of sticky, huge, finger-like leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are hazel on the edges and slate at the center.

In late summer it forms tiny, light grey seed pods.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with patches of undergrowth between them.

It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
It is bio-luminescent.
The leaves are excellent for making pulp fibers.
