Burgundy Tree

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

This short tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 633 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a very thick, wonky trunk covered in very thick, wrinkled, burgundy bark, and inside, the very light wood is gray.

The branches are very long and slender and are covered with small amounts of rough, huge, pleated leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are solid blood red or vivid green, with violet zig-zags.

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

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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

All parts of the flower are edible.
It is slightly resistant to fire damage.
It only grows on the most fertile lands.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
