Brownpine

This small tree grows up to 6 meters (19.7 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 625 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a branched, straight trunk covered in delicate, knobbly, gray bark, and inside, the hard wood is burgundy-brown.

The branches are very long and thick, with thousands of twigs covered with handfuls of small, black or caramel needles. The needles themselves are resilient.

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

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

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