{ Trees of the New World }
Exploration of the new continent has provided a variety of new trees species previously unknown to Alterans. Many forests are dominated by the colorful giants, which has led to much discussion among explorers as to what these trees actually are. Many researchers have set out to study their properties, and in short, this is what they found.The Cerulean Crown
{A massive tree that produces beautiful blue and purple flowers}
The bark is a pale gray and the wood is rather soft and smooth. Carpenters and woodworkers have made use of it as a good carving wood for utensils, statues, and bowls. The leaves are a deep green and akin to ferns in appearance. When the tree is in bloom, the flowers are what give it the distinctive blue look. The Crown has vibrant flowers that completely cover the tree, and often litter the ground below. It has been noted that there are a variety of Cerulean Crown's on the new continent, some with varying hues of blues and deep purples.
The Flowering Dogwood Tree
{ A small flowering tree that produces flowers and small berries. }
What makes the Dogwood so striking is the small flowers and red berries that cover the tree in the warmer months. The flowers vary from deep pink to white, and every hue between. The berries, when ripe, are edible and similar to a cranberry. The tree is useful for for making red dyes, and the dense bark is perfect for crafting tools and handles.
The Crimson King Maple
{ A sturdy tree that boasts colorful leaves, even through the seasons of Birth and Harvest. }
Like many maples, the Crimson King can produce syrup though it is not as sweet as others in the maple family. Instead, the tree is more useful for crafters because its wood is ideal for furniture and instruments.
