Blueleaf Maple

This short tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 115 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a slender, straight trunk covered in knobbly, dark gray bark, and inside, the very light wood is yellow-brown.

The tangled mess of branches trail down to the ground and are covered with thick bunches of soft, miniature, long, narrow leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are found in sky blue and aquamarine varieties.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, blood red, shelled seeds.

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, 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.
