Blue Windpine

Tree type: Coniferous (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This big tree grows up to 85 meters (278.9 feet) tall and lives for over 2,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 2491 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a knobbly, crooked trunk covered in thick, smooth, gray bark, and inside, the soft wood is gray.

The branches are very long and thin, covered with very large amounts of large, muted blue needles. The needles themselves are light.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, slate, shelled seeds.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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