Blackwood

This massive tree grows up to 143 meters (469.2 feet) tall and lives for over 2,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 2843 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a slender, curved trunk covered in wrinkled, black bark, and inside, the hard wood is light brown.

The tangled mess of branches are short, rigid and upright, with hundreds of twigs covered with large amounts of small, emerald needles. The needles themselves are tough.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, peach aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

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

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with grassy ground between them.
