Yellowpetal

This short tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 138 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a knobbly, slanted trunk covered in cracked, yellow bark, and inside, the soft wood is dark brown.

The small handful of branches are long and slender and are covered with large amounts of smooth, miniature, stiff, pointed leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are solid lime or yellow, with green lines.

In early spring, it produces dozens of giant, black blossoms with spiral shaped petals. They detach easily and have a delicate scent that smells like marzipan.

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

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

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with clear space between them.
