Brown Pine

This large tree grows up to 82 meters (269.0 feet) tall and lives for over 3,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 3322 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a wide, straight trunk covered in thick, cracked, brown bark, and inside, the soft wood is pine-coloured.

The branches are very short and thin, with dozens of twigs covered with handfuls of large, brown needles. The needles themselves are flimsy.

In late summer it produces tiny, grey, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots are shallow and grow straight down, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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