Silverleaf

This modest-sized tree grows up to 49 meters (160.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 324 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a branched, straight trunk covered in fine, ridged, white with black speckled bark, and inside, the flexible wood is black with white speckles.

The excessive amount of branches are short stubs and are covered with small bunches of sticky, miniature, perforated leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are either silver or lime, with grey dots.

In early spring, it produces hundreds of giant, aquamarine blossoms with slender, pointed petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are very delicate and have a delicate scent that smells like lavender.

In late summer it forms small, caramel, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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