Clingspire Tree

This small tree grows up to 6 meters (19.7 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 215 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, straight trunk covered in hard, wrinkled, black bark, and inside, the soft wood is yellow.

The small handful of branches are short stubs and are covered with small bunches of smooth, miniature, stiff, pointed leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are muted orange and cream.

In late summer it forms giant, turquoise berries.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with grassy ground between them.
