Lilacleaf

This modest-sized tree grows up to 30 meters (98.4 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 58 years old. It is somewhat resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a long and flexible, wavy trunk covered in fine, rough, pine-coloured bark, and inside, the hard wood is brown.

The tangled mess of branches are very short and slender and are covered with copious amounts of smooth, huge, thin leaves with tattered edges. The leaves themselves are generally lilac.

In early spring, it produces many bunches of large, green blossoms with long, tapering petals. They are sturdy and have a fairly strong scent that smells like a newborn baby.

In late summer it forms large, muted red, winged seeds that spin and fall nearby.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with patches of undergrowth between them.
