Crimsonvine

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

This small tree grows up to 6 meters (19.7 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 78 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, angular trunk covered in thin, knobbly, black bark, and inside, the dense wood is burgundy-brown.

The excessive amount of branches trail down towards the ground and are covered with very large amounts of waxy, tiny, slender, pointed leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are either bronze, or faded red with crimson lines.

In late summer it forms large, blood red, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is sturdy and rigid.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between filled with undergrowth.


Once on fire, it burns very quickly.
It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
