Silverleaf Tree

This short tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 151 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a slender, curved trunk covered in delicate, rough, silver and white bark, and inside, the soft wood is white with black speckles.

The branches trail down to the ground and are covered with large amounts of clammy, giant, slender, pointed leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are either slate, or violet with cream dots.

In late summer it forms tiny, dark brown berries.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with clear space between them.
