Thrasa Trees
Thrasa trees only grow in Clarengram Forest, and cannot be raised in an orchard because of their high susceptibility to disease. They produce bright red, drooping flowers in late winter and drop seeds in early spring. Its lumber is highly valued as a luxury material because of its water resistance, color, and tight striation. Dwarves are particularly fond of it, comparing its hardness and workability to stone.
Left to their own devices, thrasa trees grow up to a hundred feet tall with a six-foot-diameter trunk. The potential for such wide slabs is another reason for its popularity. The bark is silvery and looks as if it has been "dripped" down the trunk of the tree. Branches extend in a spiral and its leaves are thin and wispy, earning it the nickname "cotton candy tree." Its flowers are red and drooping with a yellow center. Thick, heavy fruits drop to the ground in early spring, providing an essential snack for returning wildlife.
Sustainability laws prevent harvesting thrasa trees before they have reached seventy feet in height and 4.5 feet in diameter, and a new tree must be planted for each cut down.
