Speckled Brown Tree

This average-sized tree grows up to 42 meters (137.8 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 192 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a slender, wavy trunk covered in very thick, knobbly, brown-green speckled bark, and inside, the very light wood is yellow.

The sparse amount of branches are very short and thin, with thousands of twigs covered with large amounts of huge, gray or blue needles. The needles themselves are strong.

In late summer it produces tiny, brown seed pods.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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