Mahogany

This small tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 564 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a stocky, twisting trunk covered in waxy, mahogany-coloured bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is pale brown.

The branches are very long and thick and are covered with small bunches of soft, small, pleated leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are solid lilac with orange dots.

In early spring, it produces large amounts of small, grey blossoms with long, tapering petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are sturdy and have a mildly strong scent that smells like coffee.

In late summer it forms tiny, lilac berries.

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 the trees packed together, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
