Purpleheart Trees

Purpleheart Trees are an uncommon variety of trees found exclusively in Reshnia and Merenia. They get their name from the color of their Wood, as it becomes a rich purple color if exposed to light for several weeks.

Basic Information

Genetics and Reproduction

Unlike many trees, purpleheart trees can reproduce via apomixis (a form of asexual reproduction) if a suitable mate is not close enough to pollinate it.

Growth Rate & Stages

A purpleheart tree takes between 40-50 years to reach full size.

Ecology and Habitats

Purpleheart trees are best suited for warmer climates, however they are very hardy and can last in any biome that warms up to at least the melting point between the 5th and 8th months.

Biological Cycle

Purpleheart trees shed their leaves without fail in the 11th month and regrow them during the 4th month, even when they are in biomes that suit their perfect growth temperature all year.
