Blackvine

This big tree grows up to 63 meters (206.7 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 469 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a sturdy, wavy trunk covered in cracked, black with white speckled bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is pale brown.

The branches are long and thick and are covered with small bunches of crispy, miniature, long, tapering leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are generally light grey.

In late summer it forms tiny, red, spiky-shelled seeds.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with clear space between them.
