Bloodwood Pine

This small tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for over 1,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 1346 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, curved trunk covered in delicate, silky, white with black speckled bark, and inside, the very dense wood is white.

The small handful of branches are very short and thick, with hundreds of twigs covered with thick bunches of tiny, gray needles. The needles themselves are sturdy.

In late summer it produces tiny, blood red, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with patches of undergrowth between them.
