Lavender

This huge tree grows up to 118 meters (387.2 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 290 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, straight trunk covered in fine, ridged, dark gray bark, and inside, the very dense wood is brown.

The branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of leathery, large, thick leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are brown and pink.

In early spring, it produces large amounts of small, ashy purple blossoms with 9 V-shaped shaped petals. They are hardy and have a fairly strong scent that smells like lavender.

In late summer it forms tiny, caramel, winged seeds that spin and fall nearby.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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