Glowing Mahogany Fern Pine

This average-sized tree grows up to 30 meters (98.4 feet) tall and lives for over 3,000 years, with the oldest known specimen being around 3297 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a narrow, wavy trunk covered in hard, silky, dark brown bark, and inside, the hard wood is mahogany-coloured.

The excessive amount of branches are short stubs, with thousands of twigs covered with copious amounts of miniature, brown needles. The needles themselves are frail.

In late summer it produces medium-sized, olive, tough-shelled seeds.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

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