Amberwood

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This giant tree grows up to 106 meters (347.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 579 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, twisting trunk covered in thin, ridged, brown-green bark, and inside, the dense wood is brown.

The small handful of branches trail down to the ground and are covered with sparse amounts of sticky, huge, needle-like leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either azure or amber, with indigo splotches.

In late summer it forms large, olive, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with grassy ground between them.
