Blueleaf Tree

This small tree grows up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 518 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a flexible, twisting trunk covered in paper-thin, waxy, dark brown bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is yellow.

The branches are short stubs and are covered with thick bunches of crispy, huge, pleated leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are hazel with drab blue tips.

In late summer it forms tiny, turquoise aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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