Silvery

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

This modest-sized tree grows up to 33 meters (108.3 feet) tall and lives seemingly forever, with many known specimen being tens of thousands of 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 paper-thin, silky, brown bark, and inside, the very light wood is pine-coloured.

The tangled mess of branches are tall, rigid and upright, with hundreds of twigs covered with large amounts of miniature, grey and gray needles. The needles themselves are resistant.

In late summer it produces tiny, black, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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