Spiralpine

This large tree grows up to 61 meters (200.1 feet) tall and lives for over 3,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 3043 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a branched, curved trunk covered in paper-thin, smooth, silver and white bark, and inside, the flexible wood is pale brown-grey.

The branches are very long and thick, with hundreds of twigs covered with handfuls of giant, bronze or violet needles. The needles themselves are light.

In late summer it produces small, vivid yellow, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
