Silverbell

This average-sized tree grows up to 29 meters (95.1 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 53 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a branched, curved trunk covered in very thick, smooth, silver bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is pale brown.

The branches trail down across the ground and are covered with small amounts of waxy, small, broad, flat leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are generally lilac.

In early spring, it produces handfuls of medium-sized, silver blossoms with perforated petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are hardy and have an overpowering scent that smells like mango.

In late summer it forms giant, bronze seed pods.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
