Burgundy Willow

This short tree grows up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 362 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a thick, crooked trunk covered in paper-thin, cracked, burgundy and brown bark, and inside, the flexible wood is black with white speckles.

The sparse amount of branches are long and thick and are covered with copious amounts of sticky, large, very thin leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are cyan and gold.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, purple berries.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
