Aqualignum

This small tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 75 years old. It is very resistant to disease but is susceptible to destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, angular trunk covered in rough, dark green bark, and inside, the light wood is mahogany-coloured.

The tangled mess of branches are short, rigid and upright and are covered with copious amounts of fuzzy, miniature, very thick leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either black or orange, with purple lines.

In late summer it forms giant, pastel yellow aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

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 patches of undergrowth between them.
