Blackwood

This average-sized tree grows up to 60 meters (196.9 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 80 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, wavy trunk covered in smooth, black bark, and inside, the soft wood is burgundy.

The numerous branches are long and thin and are covered with large amounts of smooth, miniature, asymmetrical leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are black and black.

In late summer it forms tiny, grey, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
