Yellowwood

Tree type: Deciduous (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This massive tree grows up to 122 meters (400.3 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 561 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, straight trunk covered in thin, rough, yellow bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is pine-coloured.

The tangled mess of branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with large amounts of smooth, huge, wide leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are gray-green with orange tips.

In late summer it forms large, blood red, shelled seeds.

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

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