Indigo Tree

This big tree grows up to 77 meters (252.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 249 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a wide, wonky trunk covered in thick, knobbly, black bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is white.

The branches are very long and thin and are covered with copious amounts of waxy, small, 4 pointed leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are olive with indigo tips.

In late summer it forms small, deep red, 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 the trees packed together, with grassy ground between them.
