Silverleaf Willow

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in its leaves)

This big tree grows up to 71 meters (233.0 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 686 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a branched, crooked trunk covered in fine, ridged, silver bark, and inside, the very dense wood is dark brown.

The small bunches of branches trail down towards the ground and are covered with sparse amounts of fuzzy, huge, wispy leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are found in black and caramel varieties.

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

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with patches of undergrowth between them.


It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
