Bluevine

This small tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 70 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, slanted trunk covered in delicate, knobbly, brown-green bark, and inside, the very hard wood is brown.

The small bunches of branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with handfuls of clammy, tiny, long, narrow leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are solid blue with yellow splotches.

In early spring, it produces large amounts of tiny, ashy yellow blossoms with wide petals. They are very delicate and have a faint scent that smells like cotton.

In late summer it forms giant, ashy yellow berries.

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

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
