Magenta Willow

This small tree grows up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 587 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a long and flexible, wonky trunk covered in very thick, wrinkled, brown bark, and inside, the light wood is silver.

The tangled mess of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with small amounts of crispy, tiny, very thin leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are solid blue or magenta, with turquoise edges.

In late summer it forms small, dark brown, winged seeds that spin and fall nearby.

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

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with patches of undergrowth between them.
