Mahogany Willow

This modest-sized tree grows up to 54 meters (177.2 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 230 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a long and flexible, straight trunk covered in very thick, smooth, mahogany-coloured bark, and inside, the dense wood is brown.

The branches are very long and thick and are covered with copious amounts of crispy, small, broad, flat leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are red on the sides and muted blue at the center.

In early spring, it produces a handful of large, azure blossoms with 7 spiral shaped petals. They detach easily and have a delicate scent that smells like rainy days.

In late summer it forms giant, azure berries.

The roots are thick and spread across the surface, as well as underground, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
