Graycone Fir

Tree type: Coniferous (Stores water in its stem)

This small tree grows up to 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 121 years old. It is very resistant to destructive insect infestation but susceptible to disease.

It has a sturdy, angular trunk covered in thin, wrinkled, brown bark, and inside, the soft wood is gray.

The numerous branches are short and thin, with thousands of twigs covered with thick bunches of miniature, gray needles. The needles themselves are frail.

In late summer it produces small, blue aril (seeds with fleshy covers).

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is rigid and weak, and breaks apart easily.

Forests of this species feature well-spaced trees, with the space between filled with undergrowth.

It is very rare outside of a particular area.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
It aggressively steals nutrients from other large plants (but not each other).
It is possible to grow it from cuttings.
