Lilac Trailvine

This small tree grows up to 6 meters (19.7 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 92 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, straight trunk covered in hard, rough, black bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is brown.

The thick clumps of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with copious amounts of sticky, small, slender, pointed leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are generally lilac.

In late summer it forms tiny, hazel, shelled seeds.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
