Pinkwood

This small tree grows up to 6 meters (19.7 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 628 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a thick, straight trunk covered in rough, brown bark, and inside, the very light wood is pale brown.

The small handful of branches are short stubs and are covered with handfuls of smooth, huge, very thick leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of pink that gradient shifts to orange at the top.

In early spring, it produces several medium-sized, caramel blossoms with slender, pointed petals. They fall easily and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like cinnamon.

In late summer it forms tiny, florescent purple aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

The roots are shallow and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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