Crimson Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its stem)

This large tree grows up to 67 meters (219.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 581 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, straight trunk covered in thick, ridged, gray bark, and inside, the light wood is brown.

The small handful of branches are very long and thin and are covered with thick bunches of covered in fine hairs, small, wispy leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are vibrant red on the sides and hazel at the center.

In late summer it forms tiny, caramel berries.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

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

The trunk and branches are covered in large spikes.
Several parts of the fruit tree have medicinal properties.
It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
