Silverwood Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its stem)

This large tree grows up to 75 meters (246.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 317 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a slender, straight trunk covered in silky, white with black speckled bark, and inside, the very hard wood is silver.

The tangled mess of branches are very short and slender and are covered with thick bunches of fuzzy, giant, thin leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are brown and caramel.

In early spring, it produces a thick sheet of tiny, brown blossoms with triangular shaped petals. They fall easily and have a strong scent that smells like fruity.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, violet berries.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with the space between filled with undergrowth.

It is suitable for making baskets and the like
It aggressively steals nutrients from other large plants (but not each other).
