Burgundy Fir

This average-sized tree grows up to 30 meters (98.4 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 584 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, wavy trunk covered in fine, ridged, burgundy and brown bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is white with black speckles.

The abundance of branches trail down towards the ground, with dozens of twigs covered with handfuls of small, gray needles. The needles themselves are flimsy.

In late summer it produces large, slate seed pods.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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