Burgundy Forest Tree

This large tree grows up to 78 meters (255.9 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 491 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a slender, curved trunk covered in fine, cracked, black bark, and inside, the flexible wood is burgundy.

The abundance of branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with sparse amounts of leathery, tiny, finger-like leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are solid silver with light grey lines.

In late summer it forms tiny, hazel, shelled seeds.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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