Bloodwood Tree

This small tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 274 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, slanted trunk covered in hard, waxy, yellow bark, and inside, the very hard wood is pale brown-grey.

The small handful of branches are very long, thin and wispy and are covered with large amounts of rough, tiny, 9 pointed leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are red on the edges and blood red at the center.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, brown berries.

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 patches of undergrowth between them.
