Waterstem Tree

This average-sized tree grows up to 28 meters (91.9 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 406 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a knobbly, wavy trunk covered in hard, cracked, dark gray bark, and inside, the light wood is white.

The thin clumps of branches are short stubs and are covered with sparse amounts of clammy, small, asymmetrical leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are turquoise and sky blue.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, black, shelled seeds.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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