Goldenleaf Oak

This big tree grows up to 78 meters (255.9 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 351 years old. It is susceptible to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a sturdy, slanted trunk covered in thick, smooth, yellow-brown bark, and inside, the dense wood is dark brown.

The abundance of branches are very long and thick and are covered with handfuls of covered in fine hairs, miniature, 6 pointed leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are found in faded yellow, crimson and bronze varieties.

In late summer it forms tiny, orange, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy and difficult to uproot.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together densely, with clear space between them.
