Burgundy Willow

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

This small tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 54 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a flexible, straight trunk covered in thin, waxy, burgundy bark, and inside, the soft wood is burgundy-brown.

The small bunches of branches are very short and thin and are covered with large amounts of sticky, small, very thin leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are indigo and cyan.

In late summer it forms large, dark brown, shelled seeds.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with clear space between them.
