Silverleaf Pine

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its leaves)

This small tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 686 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a stocky, angular trunk covered in smooth, pine-coloured bark, and inside, the flexible wood is pine-coloured.

The abundance of branches are very short and slender and are covered with thick bunches of covered in fine hairs, huge, thick leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are solid green with silver edges.

In late summer it forms small, green, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with patches of undergrowth between them.

It aggressively steals nutrients from other large plants (but not each other).
It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
