Speckled

This average-sized tree grows up to 48 meters (157.5 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 250 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, straight trunk covered in hard, wrinkled, black with white speckled bark, and inside, the hard wood is gray.

The numerous branches are short, rigid and upright and are covered with sparse amounts of leathery, miniature, thick leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are pink and blue.

In late summer it forms large, red berries.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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