Mahogany

Tree type: Deciduous (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This massive tree grows up to 112 meters (367.5 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 181 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a branched, wavy trunk covered in fine, smooth, mahogany-coloured bark, and inside, the very hard wood is burgundy.

The excessive amount of branches are very long, thin and wispy and are covered with small bunches of clammy, small, perforated leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are a shade of gray that gradient shifts to indigo at the top.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, caramel, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, 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.


It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
