Basic Information

Anatomy

The xoba tree has a thin, bright coloured trunk. Its crown starts very high up the trunk and only consists of a few branches but it compensates through sheer height. Its leaves are optimized to capture just the right amount of sunlight, but in situations of excess sunlight it is capable of closing its leaves.

Ecology and Habitats

Xoba trees thrive in humid, subtropical climates.
