Burgundy Pine

This average-sized tree grows up to 7 meters (23.0 feet) tall and lives for over 1,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 1632 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, straight trunk covered in very thick, rough, brown and grey bark, and inside, the soft wood is pale brown-grey.

The branches are long, thin and wispy, with thousands of twigs covered with small bunches of small, burgundy needles. The needles themselves are robust.

In late summer it produces giant, green seed pods.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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