Silvervine

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

This small tree grows up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 142 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a branched, angular trunk covered in paper-thin, smooth, silver bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is silver.

The thick clumps of branches trail down towards the ground and are covered with thick bunches of covered in fine hairs, small, circular leaves with toothed edges. The leaves themselves are azure on the edges and turquoise at the center.

In early spring, it produces many clusters of small, aquamarine blossoms with circular petals with a tube-like floral cup. They fall easily and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like bonfire smoke.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, yellow, winged seeds that spin and fall nearby.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with patches of undergrowth between them.
