Crimson Tree

Tree type: Deciduous (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This colossal tree grows up to 141 meters (462.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 415 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, angular trunk covered in thin, knobbly, dark gray bark, and inside, the flexible wood is pale brown.

The branches are tall, rigid and upright and are covered with copious amounts of fuzzy, large, 6 pointed leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of pink-red that gradient shifts to indigo at the top.

In late summer it forms giant, ashy green, spiky-shelled seeds.

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

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with grassy ground between them.

It is almost impossible to grow from cuttings.
It actively smothers and kills off other plants.
It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
