Caramel Pine

This modest-sized tree grows up to 13 meters (42.7 feet) tall and lives seemingly forever, with many known specimen being tens of thousands of years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, curved trunk covered in thick, waxy, yellow-brown bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is burgundy-brown.

The branches trail down towards the ground, with dozens of twigs covered with sparse amounts of small, caramel needles. The needles themselves are frail.

In late summer it produces large, deep green, shelled seeds.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with patches of undergrowth between them.
