Barrel Tree

Name: Barrel tree

Species: plant, tree

Description: large, bulbous, hollow tree. It has willowlike limbs, with small leaves. As they grow upward, they add these large segments, which are usually hollow, but fill up with water, much like a cactus would. The root system is edible and extends over a hundred meters in all directions and down.

Use: A dead barrel tree might make a suitable home for any number of creatures, a few might even use a living one. Their limbs are fairly strong and pliant, which might make for a useful rope. Finally, the roots are edible for most herbivores and omnivore, but it is a lot easier to take if they are boiled.

Habitat: desert regions are often populated with this tree, thanks to its ability to withstand strong winds, and its ability to store massive amounts of water.
