Burgundy Tree

This modest-sized tree grows up to 31 meters (101.7 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 216 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a sturdy, straight trunk covered in thin, rough, burgundy bark, and inside, the soft wood is white.

The numerous branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with copious amounts of clammy, small, asymmetrical leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are solid black or red, with green lines.

In late summer it forms giant, gold, shelled seeds.

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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