Amberwood Tree

This small tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 395 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, slanted trunk covered in paper-thin, knobbly, black bark, and inside, the very dense wood is burgundy.

The numerous branches are very short and thin and are covered with handfuls of covered in fine hairs, giant, circular leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are amber on the edges and black at the center.

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

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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