Description

Hiexel trees usually grow to about 30 feet tall and have silver-green bark. They have sparse branches that curve to make an overall oval shape. The wood itself is green and produces dense smoke when burnt. The bark can be rendered down into a paste used for bookbinding and as a sealant in buildings. Despite the wood being unsuitable for framework, it makes great firewood for cooking and preserving meats.
