Cyan Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This modest-sized tree grows up to 56 meters (183.7 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 649 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, angular trunk covered in silky, brown bark, and inside, the light wood is silver.

The branches are long and thick and are covered with sparse amounts of crispy, tiny, thick leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are either vibrant red, or cyan with lilac zig-zags.

In late summer it forms small, green, winged seeds that spin and fall nearby.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with grassy ground between them.

The leaves are bland but very healthy.
The colour changes depends on whether the soil is acidic or alkaline.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
