Greywood

This modest-sized tree grows up to 55 meters (180.5 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 626 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a knobbly, straight trunk covered in knobbly, white with black speckled bark, and inside, the dense wood is brown.

The branches are very short, thin and wispy and are covered with very large amounts of leathery, miniature, very thick leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are cream on the sides and grey at the center.

In early spring, it produces thick bunches of medium-sized, dark grey blossoms with 4 heart-shaped shaped petals. They are very delicate and have a weak scent that smells like meat.

In late summer it forms small, light grey, shelled seeds.

The roots form a tightly packed ball, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with patches of undergrowth between them.
