Lilac

This large tree grows up to 76 meters (249.4 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 121 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a thick, wavy trunk covered in thick, waxy, brown-green speckled bark, and inside, the soft wood is pine-coloured.

The numerous branches trail down across the ground and are covered with small bunches of sticky, small, wispy leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are lilac and orange.

In late summer it forms large, dark brown, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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