Pinkwood

This massive tree grows up to 147 meters (482.3 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 131 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, curved trunk covered in hard, waxy, dark gray bark, and inside, the dense wood is pine-coloured.

The branches are short, thin and wispy and are covered with large amounts of leathery, miniature, stiff, pointed leaves with serrated edges. The leaves themselves are found in lime, dark brown and pink varieties.

In early spring, it produces hundreds of medium-sized, caramel blossoms with 9 pointed petals. They fall easily and have a weak scent that smells like leather.

In late summer it forms small, black, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
