Silverpine

This average-sized tree grows up to 30 meters (98.4 feet) tall and lives for over 2,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 2505 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a knobbly, straight trunk covered in silky, black bark, and inside, the dense wood is yellow-brown.

The small handful of branches are very long and thin, with hundreds of twigs covered with handfuls of huge, yellow needles. The needles themselves are sturdy.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, silver aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with grassy ground between them.
