Graywood

This short tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for over 2,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 2908 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a stocky, straight trunk covered in thick, silky, dark gray bark, and inside, the light wood is mahogany-coloured.

The numerous branches are very short and thin, with thousands of twigs covered with large amounts of large, gray needles. The needles themselves are flexible.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, caramel aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

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 the trees packed together densely, with clear space between them.
