Yellowcling Tree

This small tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 263 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, straight trunk covered in thick, silky, yellow bark, and inside, the hard wood is light brown.

The tangled mess of branches are long and thick, with hundreds of twigs covered with sparse amounts of giant, moss green needles. The needles themselves are flimsy.

In late summer it produces giant, washed-out green, shelled seeds.

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

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with grassy ground between them.
