Mother Tree

Name: The Mother Tree

Species: Deciduous tree

Size: 20-30 meters

Description: A straight-trunked tree with brown bark and leaves that change from green to orange and yellow (assuming we have a typical season set-up). What's special about this tree is that when you walk through a forest of them, you're actually seeing one single tree. The trees are all linked into one root system that connects to one mother tree. Depending on its success, a mother tree can spawn a forest of several thousand individual trees.

Use: Can be used for firewood and timber, since it grows back more quickly then other trees.

Possible dangers: Since the mother tree is all connected by the same root system, fires can burn through the roots and spread throughout the whole forest, even if they are put out above ground.

Habitat: Temperate to cold climates, usually in places where there isn't a lot of competition from other trees.
