Waterstem Tree

This short tree grows up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 247 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a slender, wavy trunk covered in cracked, brown-green bark, and inside, the dense wood is brown.

The numerous branches are very short and thick and are covered with large amounts of leathery, giant, slender, pointed leaves with wavy edges. The leaves themselves are found in pink and caramel varieties.

In late summer it forms small, cream aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

The roots are shallow and widely spread, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

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