Silverleaf Tree

This small tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 144 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a thick, straight trunk covered in ridged, silver bark, and inside, the hard wood is silver.

The branches are very short and thin and are covered with large amounts of soft, miniature, very thick leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are found in lilac and bronze varieties.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, yellow, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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