Burgundycling

This massive tree grows up to 124 meters (406.8 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 189 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a thick, angular trunk covered in wrinkled, brown-green speckled bark, and inside, the hard wood is pale brown-grey.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright, with thousands of twigs covered with small amounts of huge, burgundy needles. The needles themselves are hardy.

In late summer it produces giant, beige berries.

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

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