Greyfern

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

This big tree grows up to 85 meters (278.9 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 321 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a knobbly, straight trunk covered in very thick, rough, dark green bark, and inside, the very hard wood is yellow-brown.

The excessive amount of branches are short, rigid and upright and are covered with small bunches of rough, miniature, pleated leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either dark grey, or white with orange dots.

In late summer it forms giant, light grey, 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, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.


It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
