Silvervine

This short tree grows up to 6 meters (19.7 feet) tall and lives for over 2,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 2962 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a wide, twisting trunk covered in silky, gray bark, and inside, the very light wood is silver.

The branches are very long and thick, covered with large amounts of miniature, gray needles. The needles themselves are light.

In late summer it produces tiny, orange, shelled seeds.

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 well-spaced trees, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
