Burgundy Bindweed

Tree type: Coniferous (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This short tree grows up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 230 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a slender, straight trunk covered in delicate, smooth, burgundy and brown bark, and inside, the flexible wood is burgundy.

The numerous branches trail down towards the ground, with dozens of twigs covered with thick bunches of huge, lime or bronze needles. The needles themselves are frail.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, brown seed pods.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with clear space between them.

It coexists peacefully with other plants.
The stems are covered in large spikes.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
