Burgundyvine

Tree type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This small tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 632 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, crooked trunk covered in very thick, ridged, light brown bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is burgundy.

The branches are short stubs and are covered with very large amounts of fuzzy, large, stiff, pointed leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are solid olive with lime patches.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, violet aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

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 the trees packed together densely, with patches of undergrowth between them.

It blooms only at night.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
It coexists peacefully with other plants.
