Mahogany Willow

This short tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 145 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, straight trunk covered in fine, smooth, mahogany-coloured bark, and inside, the light wood is pale brown.

The small handful of branches are very long, thin and wispy and are covered with handfuls of smooth, small, sickle shaped leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are found in dark grey, slate and blue varieties.

In late summer it forms large, slate aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

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 trees spaced far apart, with clear space between them.
