Mahogany

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

This modest-sized tree grows up to 46 meters (150.9 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 175 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a flexible, straight trunk covered in thick, wrinkled, mahogany-coloured bark, and inside, the light wood is mahogany-coloured.

The excessive amount of branches are very long, thin and wispy and are covered with small bunches of smooth, huge, thick leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are generally green.

In late summer it forms giant, sky blue berries.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with clear space between them.

It only grows on the most fertile lands.
It is bio-luminescent.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
It can absorb up to 8 times its own weight in water.
