Twistvine

This small tree grows up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 119 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a knobbly, twisting trunk covered in smooth, black with white speckled bark, and inside, the very dense wood is pale brown.

The branches trail down to the ground and are covered with very large amounts of leathery, large, circular leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are found in pink, peach and beige varieties.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, bright green seed pods.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with grassy ground between them.
