Burgundy Pine

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its stem)

This short tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 358 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a thick, slanted trunk covered in thick, knobbly, pine-coloured bark, and inside, the very dense wood is burgundy.

The excessive amount of branches are short and thin and are covered with thick bunches of waxy, large, spear shaped leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are green and dark grey.

In late summer it forms small, green, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with patches of undergrowth between them.

It is often home to a particular bird species.
It comes in 31 varieties.
It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
