Clinging Pine

Tree type: Coniferous (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This average-sized tree grows up to 23 meters (75.5 feet) tall and lives for over 2,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 2008 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a wide, straight trunk covered in ridged, black bark, and inside, the very light wood is pale yellow.

The small bunches of branches are long and thin, with hundreds of twigs covered with small amounts of large, orange needles. The needles themselves are light.

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

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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

Before maturity, it can grow 0 per day.
The colour changes depends on whether the soil is acidic or alkaline.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
