Cyanleaf Tree

This short tree grows up to 6 meters (19.7 feet) tall and lives for centuries, with the oldest known specimen being around 587 years old. It is very susceptible to disease and insect infestation.

It has a narrow, straight trunk covered in paper-thin, knobbly, dark brown bark, and inside, the medium-dense wood is white.

The tangled mess of branches trail down across the ground and are covered with small bunches of fuzzy, giant, very narrow and elongated leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are beige and grey.

In early spring, it produces many clusters of large, cyan blossoms with 6 shield-shaped shaped petals. They are very delicate and have an overpowering scent that smells like pine needles.

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

The roots are fine and grow in a large web, and overall the tree is rigid and brittle.

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