Silverpine

This short tree grows up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall and lives seemingly forever, with many known specimen being tens of thousands of years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a slender, crooked trunk covered in knobbly, brown-green bark, and inside, the dense wood is pine-coloured.

The excessive amount of branches are tall, rigid and upright, with dozens of twigs covered with large amounts of miniature, silver and grey needles. The needles themselves are sturdy.

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

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with patches of undergrowth between them.
