Burgundy Tree

This giant tree grows up to 123 meters (403.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 609 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, straight trunk covered in silky, burgundy and brown bark, and inside, the light wood is brown.

The abundance of branches are very long and slender and are covered with small amounts of crispy, tiny, very thin leaves with irregular edges. The leaves themselves are gray-green with pink tips.

In late summer it forms tiny, lime seed pods.

The roots spread far and go deep underground, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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