Cyanwood

Tree type: Deciduous (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This small tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 469 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, straight trunk covered in thick, cracked, pine-coloured bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is yellow.

The tangled mess of branches are short and thin and are covered with handfuls of waxy, small, thick leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are cyan on the sides and blue at the center.

In late summer it forms large, cyan berries.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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

It is almost impossible to grow from cuttings.
It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
The grass is spicy and very toxic and while grains are sweet and non-toxic.
