Silverwave Pine

This modest-sized tree grows up to 17 meters (55.8 feet) tall and lives for over 1,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 1468 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a wide, wavy trunk covered in thick, smooth, silver bark, and inside, the very dense wood is mahogany-coloured.

The abundance of branches are tall, rigid and upright, with hundreds of twigs covered with large amounts of large, brown needles. The needles themselves are flimsy.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, beige, spiky-shelled seeds.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with patches of undergrowth between them.
