Bloodwood Ash

This colossal tree grows up to 106 meters (347.8 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 140 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, twisting trunk covered in knobbly, burgundy bark, and inside, the light wood is pale brown-grey.

The sparse amount of branches are short stubs and are covered with large amounts of sticky, miniature, pleated leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are solid blood red with dark grey zig-zags.

In late summer it forms small, slate aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

The roots are shallow and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
