Caramel Tree

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

This modest-sized tree grows up to 44 meters (144.4 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 609 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, smooth, dark green bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is yellow-brown.

The small bunches of branches trail down towards the ground and are covered with small amounts of smooth, small, thick leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are hazel with orange tips.

In late summer it forms small, caramel, shelled seeds.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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

It comes in 95 varieties.
It is almost impossible to grow indoors.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
