Magenta Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This small tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 450 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, cracked, silver and white bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is copper-coloured.

The branches are short, rigid and upright and are covered with thick bunches of rough, giant, circular leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are solid magenta or beige, with black splotches.

In late summer it forms small, grey aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

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

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with grassy ground between them.
