Brownleaf Tree

This short tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 299 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, knobbly, brown-green bark, and inside, the dense wood is white.

The excessive amount of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with handfuls of soft, miniature, pleated leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are dark brown at the bottom and black with orange edges at the top.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, brown seed pods.

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 the trees packed together, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
