Silverfern

This modest-sized tree grows up to 22 meters (72.2 feet) tall and lives for over 2,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 2712 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a thick, slanted trunk covered in waxy, silver and white bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is black.

The excessive amount of branches are tall, rigid and upright, with hundreds of twigs covered with handfuls of large, emerald or cyan needles. The needles themselves are light.

In late summer it produces small, olive seed pods.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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