Flexwood Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This small tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 697 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a wide, straight trunk covered in waxy, brown-green speckled bark, and inside, the very dense wood is pale brown-grey.

The excessive amount of branches are long and thin and are covered with small bunches of smooth, tiny, perforated leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are brown on the sides and dark brown at the center.

In late summer it forms large, dark green, tough-shelled seeds.

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 well-spaced trees, with the space between filled with undergrowth.


It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
