Golden Vine Tree

This modest-sized tree grows up to 21 meters (68.9 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 630 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, crooked trunk covered in paper-thin, silky, brown and grey bark, and inside, the light wood is pine-coloured.

The extensive patches of branches are long and thick and are covered with thick bunches of soft, tiny, wide leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are either dark orange or gold, with peach patches.

In late summer it forms tiny, grey, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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