Bloodvine

This modest-sized tree grows up to 20 meters (65.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 656 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a slender, straight trunk covered in thick, knobbly, black with white speckled bark, and inside, the soft wood is pale brown-grey.

The numerous branches trail down across the ground and are covered with large amounts of rough, tiny, spear shaped leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are brown and blood red.

In late summer it forms large, light grey seed pods.

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with clear space between them.
