Sagan 4 Forum [Menu]

The description seems a little small. Can you specify its growing conditions? Altitude is the most important, given it lives in the boreal habitat.

added a detail

So basically, if the trunk is really a mass of branches, it would basically make each tree a microclimate, since those dense crystal leaves and such would block the wind and thus make it feel warmer inside the foliage.

Edited to reflect the addition of the polar woodland biome.
