Indigo Tree

This small tree grows up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 490 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, slanted trunk covered in very thick, rough, burgundy and brown bark, and inside, the very light wood is pale brown.

The branches are very long and slender and are covered with copious amounts of crispy, miniature, sickle shaped leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are found in indigo, blue and azure varieties.

In late summer it forms giant, copper berries.

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

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