Climbing Willow

This short tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 491 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, wavy trunk covered in very thick, waxy, black with white speckled bark, and inside, the very dense wood is yellow-brown.

The branches trail down across the ground and are covered with small bunches of smooth, large, finger-like leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are yellow and peach.

In late summer it forms small, caramel, spiky-shelled seeds.

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, with patches of undergrowth between them.
