Burgundy Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This modest-sized tree grows up to 29 meters (95.1 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 59 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, ridged, burgundy bark, and inside, the hard wood is burgundy.

The branches are long, thin and wispy and are covered with copious amounts of rough, giant, very narrow and elongated leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of pink-red that gradient shifts to amber at the top.

In early spring, it produces several tiny, black blossoms with many layers of petals. They are very delicate and have a soft scent that smells like pine needles.

In late summer it forms giant, pastel orange berries.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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