Twistwood Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This huge tree grows up to 126 meters (413.4 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 636 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a long and flexible, twisting trunk covered in fine, knobbly, black bark, and inside, the very hard wood is gray.

The branches are very long and thin and are covered with small amounts of waxy, huge, circular leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are magenta on the sides and blood red at the center.

In late summer it forms giant, red berries.

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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