Turquoise Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its leaves)

This average-sized tree grows up to 15 meters (49.2 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 112 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a branched, wavy trunk covered in paper-thin, waxy, light brown bark, and inside, the soft wood is light brown.

The numerous branches are short stubs and are covered with very large amounts of sticky, small, circular leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of lime green that gradient shifts to turquoise at the top.

In late summer it forms tiny, yellow, tough-shelled seeds.

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 densely, with grassy ground between them.

It aggressively steals nutrients from other large plants (but not each other).
It is suitable for making strong rope
