Vineleaf Willow

This small tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 588 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a stocky, curved trunk covered in delicate, smooth, dark green bark, and inside, the very hard wood is white with black speckles.

The branches trail down to the ground and are covered with small bunches of soft, miniature, very thin leaves with ripped edges. The leaves themselves are slate and aquamarine.

In late summer it forms large, silver, winged seeds that float and land far away.

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

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
