Twistwood

This modest-sized tree grows up to 45 meters (147.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 220 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, curved trunk covered in paper-thin, waxy, burgundy bark, and inside, the flexible wood is burgundy.

The branches are very short, thin and wispy, with dozens of twigs covered with small bunches of tiny, emerald needles. The needles themselves are rigid.

In late summer it produces large, cream seed pods.

The roots are shallow and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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