Vinebirch

This modest-sized tree grows up to 26 meters (85.3 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 292 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a thick, crooked trunk covered in cracked, white with black speckled bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is pale yellow.

The branches trail down towards the ground and are covered with small amounts of fuzzy, miniature, long, tapering leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are generally white.

In late summer it forms tiny, dark grey, spiky-shelled seeds.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with clear space between them.
