Clinging Silvertree

This small tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 230 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, crooked trunk covered in silky, burgundy bark, and inside, the hard wood is silver.

The branches are short, rigid and upright and are covered with sparse amounts of crispy, tiny, stiff, pointed leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are found in bronze, dark brown and olive varieties.

In late summer it forms tiny, hazel, shelled seeds.

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

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