Burgundy Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This short tree grows up to 6 meters (19.7 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 118 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, straight trunk covered in knobbly, dark gray bark, and inside, the dense wood is burgundy.

The small handful of branches are long, thin and wispy and are covered with small amounts of sticky, small, stiff, pointed leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are either cream or cyan, with grey lines.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, bold red berries.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with grassy ground between them.

It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
It releases hallucinogenic smoke when burned.
It is often referred to as the most beautiful of all flowers.
