Rippled Blue

Tree type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This small tree grows up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 185 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a flexible, straight trunk covered in ridged, gray bark, and inside, the very dense wood is pale brown-grey.

The excessive amount of branches are short, rigid and upright and are covered with very large amounts of rough, miniature, fan-like leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are pale blue on the edges and hazel at the center.

In late summer it forms giant, blood red, spiky-shelled seeds.

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, 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.

It makes a distinctive sound when the wind blows through it.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
The bark, wood and leaves are edible.
