Burgundy Needle Pine

This modest-sized tree grows up to 46 meters (150.9 feet) tall and lives for over 3,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 3540 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, straight trunk covered in hard, ridged, burgundy bark, and inside, the hard wood is burgundy-brown.

The small bunches of branches trail down across the ground, with hundreds of twigs covered with large amounts of large, orange-yellow needles. The needles themselves are tough.

In late summer it produces small, red berries.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with patches of undergrowth between them.
