Clinging Pine

This modest-sized tree grows up to 58 meters (190.3 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 60 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, straight trunk covered in rough, yellow bark, and inside, the light wood is copper-coloured.

The tangled mess of branches are long and thin, with thousands of twigs covered with sparse amounts of small, moss green needles. The needles themselves are rigid.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, orange, shelled seeds.

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

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
