Aquamarine

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

This small tree grows up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 350 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a wide, curved trunk covered in delicate, wrinkled, light brown bark, and inside, the very hard wood is mahogany-coloured.

The branches trail down across the ground and are covered with copious amounts of smooth, tiny, broad, flat leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are aquamarine and grey.

In late summer it forms medium-sized, florescent green, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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

It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
It comes in 7 varieties, each with a different leaf colour.
