Serpentine Vine Tree

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

This massive tree grows up to 91 meters (298.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 326 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a very thick, wonky trunk covered in smooth, burgundy and brown bark, and inside, the light wood is yellow-brown.

The branches are short and thin and are covered with sparse amounts of covered in fine hairs, miniature, 6 pointed leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are magenta on the edges and green at the center.

In late summer it forms large, black seed pods.

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with grassy ground between them.

It is suitable for use as a construction material
The colour changes depends on whether the soil is acidic or alkaline.
