Bloodspike Tree

This average-sized tree grows up to 9 meters (29.5 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 75 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a wide, straight trunk covered in rough, light brown bark, and inside, the soft wood is dark brown.

The small handful of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with sparse amounts of fuzzy, small, broad, flat leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are muted red at the bottom and grey with bronze zig-zags at the top.

In late summer it forms giant, blood red, spiky-shelled seeds.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with clear space between them.
