Giant tree five

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

The largest and tallest tree of ursa mina. The record holder stands at five hundred and three feet, ten and three fourths inches. They produce progressively larger needles as they grow, with the oldest ones having giant needles. The trees emit a pleasantly fruity sweet smell despite not producing fruit. They grow in their own forests, mixed with their smaller cousins and sometimes among the 'normal' jungles. They are considered a sacred tree and according to ursa minan mythology they are immortal trees. They are also the only sexually dimorphic trees of note. Only the male tree grows to impressive height and lives longer. The female trees rarely exceed one hundred feet and only live a few hundred years. This mirrors the biology of the ursa minans who's males also greatly outlive and outsize the females. Although it is rumored that there are trees of this species that are millions of years old, outsiders are not allowed to enter the sacred forest or examine the old growth trees.
