Bronzevine

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

This modest-sized tree grows up to 50 meters (164.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 230 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a stocky, straight trunk covered in cracked, brown bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is silver.

The small handful of branches are short, rigid and upright, with hundreds of twigs covered with handfuls of small, copper needles. The needles themselves are frail.

In late summer it produces giant, silver seed pods.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, 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.

It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
It is difficult to kill and will quickly regrow if cut.
