Serpentine Oak

This average-sized tree grows up to 50 meters (164.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 472 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a knobbly, curved trunk covered in thin, silky, black with white speckled bark, and inside, the soft wood is light brown.

The tangled mess of branches are very long and slender and are covered with small amounts of smooth, tiny, spear shaped leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are solid cyan or blood red, with green splotches.

In late summer it forms giant, slate, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
