Orange Pine

This average-sized tree grows up to 55 meters (180.5 feet) tall and lives for over 2,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 2296 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a wide, curved trunk covered in thin, knobbly, dark brown bark, and inside, the very light wood is pine-coloured.

The excessive amount of branches are short and thin, with hundreds of twigs covered with thick bunches of tiny, orange needles. The needles themselves are resilient.

In late summer it produces large, beige, winged seeds that spin and fall nearby.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with the space between filled with undergrowth.
