Olive

This modest-sized tree grows up to 27 meters (88.6 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 324 years old. It is very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has a very thick, straight trunk covered in thick, rough, brown bark, and inside, the dense wood is pale yellow.

The branches are short stubs and are covered with very large amounts of fuzzy, large, circular leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are olive and beige.

In early spring, it produces clusters of tiny, grey blossoms with 5 shield-shaped shaped petals. They are hardy and have a delicate scent that smells like burning wood.

In late summer it forms large, red, winged seeds that float and land far away.

The roots are long and grow straight down, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature the trees packed together, with grassy ground between them.
