Pink-red

This giant tree grows up to 115 meters (377.3 feet) tall and lives for over 2,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 2683 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, wonky trunk covered in delicate, silky, white with black speckled bark, and inside, the very light wood is yellow-brown.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright, with hundreds of twigs covered with large amounts of huge, pink-red needles. The needles themselves are frail.

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

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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