Silver Bark Tree

This small tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 408 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, straight trunk covered in very thick, knobbly, silver and white bark, and inside, the very dense wood is light brown.

The branches are short, thin and wispy and are covered with very large amounts of covered in fine hairs, miniature, wispy leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are found in cream, cyan and amber varieties.

In late summer it forms large, crimson, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with patches of undergrowth between them.
