Clinging Silverfir

This modest-sized tree grows up to 45 meters (147.6 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 74 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, straight trunk covered in fine, rough, silver bark, and inside, the very hard wood is brown.

The tangled mess of branches are short, rigid and upright, with dozens of twigs covered with very large amounts of large, burgundy needles. The needles themselves are delicate.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, beige seed pods.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
