Azurefern

This modest-sized tree grows up to 36 meters (118.1 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 198 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a knobbly, slanted trunk covered in ridged, dark green bark, and inside, the hard wood is white with black speckles.

The sparse patches of branches are very short and thick and are covered with small amounts of fuzzy, miniature, very thin leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are azure and lilac.

In late summer it forms large, cream seed pods.

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 well-spaced trees, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
