Waterstem Tree

This short tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 525 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, straight trunk covered in rough, white with black speckled bark, and inside, the very dense wood is white.

The small handful of branches are short stubs and are covered with handfuls of leathery, huge, pleated leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are pink and florescent green.

In late summer it forms small, vivid yellow berries.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with grassy ground between them.
