Vascular Plants (Phylum Tracheophyta)Observer
zarabDescription
The trunk is about 1 foot in circumference, and is slightly rough, round, and like a cylinder. Its colors include light brown, from the bark, and light white green from lichen. There are about 30 branches coming off of the trunk, with smaller branches attached to those ones. Some special features it has include long, skinny branches or stems coming down from the smaller branches tips, which probably had berries or flowers on them in earlier, warmer seasons. The tree is in its mature, adult stage, but has no leaves, flowers, seeds, or cones due to the Fall and Winter. It is surrounded by dead leaves, probably from the tree itself, trees of the same species of that, and multiple pine trees.
