Floodwood Trees

Fludwood Trees are a very peculiar type of tree that survives purely on water. It needs no rich soils in order to grow, just incredibly huge amounts of water. Thus, these trees can sometimes be found floating sideways in oceans and lakes, still growing and in fact prospering there. Most of the time, however, they are found growing in the sand or mud on shorelines, in areas where the body of water keeps the land mostly saturated all day long. The trees grow no leaves, and look fairly dead-looking because of it. Their wood, also, shrivels into a useless mass when dried, making it completely useless for construction purposes. Basically the only thing it has ever been used for well is creating the skeletons and outer shells of the Ecreekem.
