Clinging Fir

This short tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for over 1,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 1999 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a narrow, slanted trunk covered in silky, white with black speckled bark, and inside, the very light wood is dark brown.

The sparse amount of branches are very short and thin, with dozens of twigs covered with thick bunches of large, green needles. The needles themselves are frail.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, dark brown, shelled seeds.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, 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.
