Aquamarine Willow

This small tree grows up to 6 meters (19.7 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 570 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a wide, straight trunk covered in delicate, wrinkled, pine-coloured bark, and inside, the hard wood is yellow-brown.

The extensive patches of branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with handfuls of fuzzy, miniature, long, narrow leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are found in turquoise and turquoise varieties.

In late summer it forms tiny, white seed pods.

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

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with clear space between them.
